Review of Ocean's Eleven (1960) by Shawn S — 24 Sep 2015
Maybe it's because I grew up in a different era, but I prefer the 2001 remake of Ocean's 11. The original version really drags. Hardly anything happens for the first hour. They hadn't mastered the art of the montage in 1960, so the set-up for the heist is drawn out too long.
The ending is entertaining, and it's fun to see the Rat Pack together, but this is one of the few instances when the original isn't the better film.
