My grandfather grew up in Chicago during the time period represented in this film. As a child, I remember him singing My Kind of Town(Chicago is). I saw it once as a teen and loved it, so when it came out on DVD I went out and bought it. I was wondering if it was as good as I remember. It was actually better.
The fact it is a B-movie speaks of the quality of films back in the 60s, not the lack of quality of this film.
I'm not a Rat Pack fan, but I love Robin and Seven Hoods. It has just the right touch of comedy, music, and great ending.
I knocked it down one point for the lengthy Bang...Bang! but yet I always find myself singing along with Sammy Davis Jr.
Just try to get this on DVD, as they often cut a couple of the better numbers on TV(such as Don't be a Do-Badder) that add to the plot.
