Ocean's 11 (1960) (BD)

The original Ocean's Eleven has been sneered at in recent years, mainly by people who like the remake. In fact the original is an interesting and entertaining movie that is still well worth watching, particulaly by fans of the main stars. The central story is about a group of ex 82nd Airborne servicemen attempting to rob five big Las Vegas casinos and how their ingenious plan goes astray. The narrative is augmented by historically fascinating shots of Las Vegas as it was circa 1960. Especially interesting for fans of a bygone era in show business are the bill boards announcing which stars are appearing at which casino. That delightful and mostly forgotten Canadian singer Gisele Mackenzie is prominently proclaimed. The Blu-ray presentation of the movie is superb and cannot be praised too highly. Watching this BRD via a projector on a ten foot wide screen was as good as seeing the movie in a cinema. I recommend this Blu-ray disc to anyone who enjoys the movie, particularly if they have a projector.

What a great Classic film this is. Nice to see the "Rat Pack" again. I liked this movie when it came out & I still like it today. I like it better than the newer version too. The Blu-Ray quality is pretty nice on this film. As old as the film is I didn't expect the quality to be this good. I can't comment on the audio as I do not have surround sound, just my tuner & external speakers which sound nice to me. I wish they would have saved the old Casinos & put them in another part of town to recreate "Old Vegas". I'm sure tourists & younger people would get a kick out of how things were back in the day. I also like the fact that the aspect ratio is 2:40:1, which means the sides of the movie aren't cut off, like many other films are. I rather like seeing the whole movie as the director meant it to be seen. Overall I am very happy with the quality & would recommend this to any one wanting to get this movie.

The rat pack original is better than any remake or sequel.

Set in the Glory years of Vega$, Sinatra, Martin, Sammy & the 8 makes you wish time travel was possible. Vegas lost this cool years ago

Decent resolution/image for such an old film. Makes a moralistic ending seem more appropriate than the Clooney/Pitt modern versions.

For those who know the film, this is an excellent Blu-ray version. For those who own the DVD, this is probably a worthwhile upgrade. The picture is first rate, certainly much better than the DVD. The sound track is the original mono sound track, but crystal clear. There are some additional extras on this disc as well as those included on the DVD version. For those who don't know the film, this is a wonderful story made at a time when films were entertaining.

Excelente clasico

This review is for the Blu-Ray version of Ocean's 11. The picture and sound are almost perfect when watching on Blu-Ray with the movie pictured in Widescreen format. As for the story itself, it couldn't get any better with Ocean and his paratroopers stealing from the casinos and to the end. Which could never get old, looking at their faces, like what just happened. This is a must have for any old movie fan either for the DVD and for the Blu-Ray (if you have the player). I would recommend this.

seller mailed DVD quickly, in fine condition. This is the original Oceans DVD and a very enjoyable movie with classic actors.

this is a good old film. i found it nice and entertaining. the picture quality is very good and so is the sound. there's a few extras on the disk but they are not very long. I found the best one was about the people who worked in vegas in the sixties. although this is a u.s import it playes fine in the u.k.

Great movie for those who love Frank and the gang. I can watch it over and over again. I am an avid Frank fan. Love the original movie better than the remake with George Clooney.

You can't beat the Rat Pack. Even after all these year's, This movie has always been entertaining from the beginning. Excellent print and sound.

The word cool is used for just about everybody and everything. People, people, "THIS IS THE REAL COOL WITH CAPITAL C"
