Auction History Result 2z416 OCEAN'S 11 1sh '60 Sinatra, Martin, Davis Jr., Dickinson, Lawford, Rat Pack classic! Date Sold 12/8/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Ocean's Eleven, the classic 1960 Lewis Milestone Las Vegas Nevada Rat Pack multi-million-dollar multi-casino hold-up gambling crime caper thriller ("That Big One!!"; "Nobody else would have dared it because nobody else would have the nerve!"; "You wouldn't call it a gang. Just Danny Ocean and his 11 pals - the night they blew all the lights in Las Vegas!..."; about 11 Army veterans joining together to rob five Las Vegas casinos at once!) starring Frank Sinatra (in the title role as Danny Ocean), Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford (the preceding were called "The Rat Pack" because they were real-life friends who socialized regularly), Angie Dickinson, Richard Conte, Cesar Romero, Patrice Wymore, Joey Bishop (who surprisingly was given very low billing, under that of Patrice Wymore!), Akim Tamiroff, Henry Silva, and "Guest Stars" Red Skelton, George Raft, and Ilka Chase. Note that several Las Vegas casinos agreed to allow filming within their casinos, and without that, the movie could never have been made for a reasonable price. This might seem odd, given that the premise of the movie was a massive robbery of the casinos, but it would be next to impossible to accomplish in real life, because Las Vegas is in the middle of a giant desert, so even if such a robbery could be successful, how would the perpetrators escape with the money?

Important Added Info: Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson. Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked). This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "1960s". Condition: good to very good. There are some pinholes around the edges (some are torn or enlarged due to rough removal). It is otherwise in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
