This review is from: The Rat Pack's Las Vegas (DVD)

If I knew this thing was produced by the Travel Channel, I never woulda bought it. It's just another Travel Channel advertisement for Las Vegas. And it's filled with interviews of Rat Pack impersonators, for crying out loud.

You're much better off picking up the 2-disc Rat Pack DVD produced by the History Channel. That documentary is much more thorough, contains many more interviews with people who knew the Pack intimately (Tony Curtis, Angie Dickinson, etc.) and, by the way, is a few bucks cheaper! Stay away from this piece discount bin piece of trash.

The picture on front of DVD is very misleading. I should have read other reviews before purchasing. I agree with most critical review...I would not have ordered this DVD if I knew it was produced by the Travel Channel. What a waste of money!!! Very superficial information!!

This review is from: The Rat Pack's Las Vegas (DVD)

This is a decent documentary on The Rat Rack Pack. It's primary focus is on Frank Sinatra and the history of the The Sands Hotel. Dino & Sammy to a much lesser extend and some mention of Lawford and a snipet of Bishop. They start with a brief history of Vegas and then how The Rat Pack, Frank in particular's influence/role on the growth of Las Vegas and The Sands Hotel. Many old B&W clips of the Rat Pack Copa Room shows(during the Oceans's Eleven days and earlier) are included. A pit boss who knew them is interviewed on & off throughout the 43 minute program(its 43, not 50 minutes long). This guy has alot of insight - he is slightly cheesy, but informative. Some Rat Pack impersonators are also commentate throughout - the Frank is good, the Dino is not... and the Sammy is just okay...JKF, "the mob" are also discussed. Overall, I would reccomend this DVD. It isn't the best Rat Pack documentary out there. This DVD is, currently, as I write this, selling for about $10 bucks here on Amazon, while The history channel's documentary(new) is selling for well over $100, new. I suggest trying to rent these from Netflix like I did. Save your money for Rat Pack concert DVD's instead. There is one on Amazon(LIVE & SWINGING) and the rest(bad quality bootlegs) require some searching....BTW, disregard some of the bad reviews on here for this documentary. Everyone's intitled to there opinion, but some are clearly wrong/mistaken...Me thinks(thimks) some have had to much "tea"...This DVD is fine. My only complaint would be that The Sands, is actually a bigger star here than Dino or "Smokey". Also the Dino impersonator was slightly annoying. I would still recommend this to any fan, realizing that some folks, tea or no tea, will never be satisfied...
