favorite movie #99 - holiday edition: robin and the 7 hoods
Favorite movies that have had an impact on me - #99 - Robin and the 7 Hoods (1964) - Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack buddies Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr. have fun with this Robin Hood-inspired musical. There are fun musical numbers, lots of mobster-inflected dialogue, and a general devil-may-care attitude that makes the good guy gangster romp fun. Sinatra introduces the hit song "My Kind of Town,' but my favorite numbers are Sammy Davis, Jr. shooting up a speakeasy with "Bang! Bang!" and Bing Crosby presiding over "Mr. Booze." Crosby, Sinatra, and Martin also do a great rendition of "Style". All of the songs are by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen.
Sammy shoots and taps his way through the speakeasy
