Robin and the 7 Hoods (1964) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #Robinandthe7Hoods

It's The Rat Pack with a very special VIP "plus one" in this sly Runyonesque musical revision of the Robin Hood legend, done up Chicago gangland style. Frank Sinatra stars as Robbo, caught up in a gang war with rival mobster Guy Gisborne (Peter Falk) after mob chieftain Big Jim (Edward G. Robinson, in an uncredited cameo) get the big rub-out. With allies Will (Sammy Davis, Jr,) and John (Dean Martin) at his side, Robbo gets suborned by Big Jim's daughter Marian (Barbara Rush) to ice the man that iced her dad to the tune of 50 Gs.

Directed By Gordon Douglas
Starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr.

Sammy Davis Jr's testimony is the funniest, imo. His alcoholism problem actually forced him to stop his pickpocketing.

[MichaelJ]

Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis and Bing Crosby (He who still has the highest sold single to this day) all on one set. So much talent

[Afalstein]

Dean Martin constantly looks like he's on the verge of bursting out laughing.

[Embermoon]

"Then, sin got me in."
"Gin."
"Oh yeah, a lil bit of that too."😂😂😂

[dmanlip]

Gotta admit, never woulda found this without family guy. Now I kinda wanna watch it simply because of both how amazing it is, and the rat pack of all things being in it. Macfarlane is a clever bastard.

"Alcohol makes a big man small, and can lead to a life of crime"

My favorite part both from the movie and Family Guy.

[j.d.]

"Who dat? I -- I mean, 'who's that?'." 😂

[erasmusmiranda]

Leaving out the final Bing Crosby line showing his incredible range is criminal. C'mon WB, let this masterpiece end as it was intended!!!

0:27 - I just realised Dean sat on Frank’s knee. Classic! xD

[noegodinez]

I would bet a million dollars that everyone in theaters burted out laughing when Dean wanted to "testify"

[RedCygnes]

Love to see how Dino had a hard time trying not to laugh during Sammy's "testimony" haha!
One of my favorite movies! Peter Falk did hell of a job as Guy!

Avengers Infinity War: The greatest team up of all time

Me: Clearly you never saw Robin and the 7 Hoods

"And then I drank myself out of a hell of a business.... for medical purposes only"

[WJG]

I can't get over how much talent there was in this movie's cast. But even more than that, you know they genuinely had fun making this production, which makes it even better.

[demidazed]

The cut to Peter Falk standing there in disbelief when they all start dancing up and down the aisles is far too funny

[carter]

I can't get over Sammy Davis Jr. Saying "who dat?"

[Rob_Kates]

A little irony. The Rat Pack singing about the evils of booze.

[rlbgt]

Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis jr und Peter Falk! Ist das noch zu toppen? Nein! Unmöglich!

[reggiebadunkadunk]

Its as if Dean is completely improvising all of it. Love it.

Fun Fact:
Bing was an Olympic-level pot smoker when he was young.
Bing hung out with Jazz musicians then, and the thing they like next to music is, well you know.
He was smoking so much weed, that his buddy Louis Armstrong told him that he needed to dial it back a bit. When a Jazz musician thinks you're smokin' too much pot, you is really smokin' too much pot. That's like Willie or Snoop telling you that you're smoking too much.
