Robin and the 7 Hoods mirthfully gives the Robin Hood legend a Depression-era, mobstown Chicago setting. There, North Side boss Robbo (Frank Sinatra) hopes to get a leg up in his power struggle with rival racketeer Guy Gisborne (Peter Falk). Robbo sees himself as a latter-day Robin Hood with philanthropic fronts enabling him to scam the rich, take his cut then give to the poor.
Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Bing Crosby and Barbara Rush joins in the giddy, gangsterish fun. And the jazzy Sammy Cahn/James Van Heusen score (including Sinatra's classic 'My Kind Of Town') is the perfect match for this all-star cast. Chicago will be your kind of town, when you share the music and merriment of 'Robin and the 7 Hoods'

Frank,Dean, Sammy and Bing all shone in this fantastical musical, they really showed on screen what great entertainers they were, the kind of people who we need today in cinema.
The story about gangsters, gambling and the Rat pack ,was genius. I enjoyed secenes such as the transformation of Robbo's casino to a revival meeting,where Guy Gisbourne (Peter Falk) gets mugged, the pool match between Frank and Dean and Sammy wrecking Gisbourne's casino with his machine gun.Quotes said in the film, "I think somethin's wrong with his throat" and "I wonder where he's going? Well, wherever it is, he's in for a big surprise when he gets back." were priceless. Loads of entertaing songs were packed into this glittering film, such as Sammy's "No one gets a kick out of bang bang like me.", Crosby's "Don't be a do badder." and Frank and Dean's "Got or you haven't got style."

Overall i thoroughly enjoyed this film, i don't usually watch musicals but Robin and the seven hoods was brilliant, i would watch it over and over. With lots of humourous gags, famous actors, plenty of catchy tunes this film was definatley the best musical for me and the Rat pack.
I urge people to go buy this film becuase you will miss out on all the fun of watching the Rat Pack on screen.

Not as good as 'The Fighter'
I saw this instead of 'the fighter' - bad idea. Honestly, I'd watch that instead. There's not a bit of singing in it.

A real fun movie
Brought back many happy memories of seeing this for the first time. I particularly liked the revival meeting scene when Bing Crosby sang 'Mr. Booze'

names wrong
On the box picture, why is Frank Sinatras name above Dean Martin and vice versa?
