Mystery | Thriller
Las Vegas, 1960.
Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop,
and Peter Lawford are the Kings of Cool---the Rat Pack.
Ocean’s 11 is their first movie together and they have
taken Sin City by storm---filming during the day and
cavorting onstage at the Sands Casino at night. It’s clear
not everyone is charmed, however, when Dean begins
receiving anonymous threatening letters. Eddie Gianelli, also called Eddie G., is a pit boss at the
Sands. After twelve years, he’s got the whole town wired.
But he’s still surprised when Joey Bishop drops by his
table and invites him to meet with Frank in the Rat Pack’s
private steam room. Frank asks Eddie to find out who’s been
sending the threats, as a favor to him and Dean.
Eddie wants to politely decline, but caught between his
boss, Jack Entratter’s, not-so-subtle nudging and being
utterly starstruck by Dino, he agrees to look into it. He
gets help from his P.I. best friend and a Jewish torpedo
from Brooklyn. A few dead bodies and bruised ribs later,
he remembers why he was reluctant. In a city of gamblers,
Eddie has become the highest roller of all. The game is
murder, and the stakes just may be his own life.
