Released to coincide with Steven Soderbergh's classy remake, The Ocean's Eleven Story is a fascinating American television documentary that sets the original Ocean's Eleven film in its historical context. Despite the opportunistic title, the film itself only constitutes part of the story and is featured in only the briefest of clips--none of which include any dialogue. Despite this--and the rather shoddy nature of the interview footage--there is still enough excellent archive material and interesting stories to make The Ocean's Eleven Story a worthwhile proposition. Placing the film in the context of the whole "Rat Pack" period, the documentary also looks at the role of Sinatra and company in the political rise of the Kennedy clan, the involvement of the Mafia and their heady days in Las Vegas. It also focuses on the individual lives of the five principal members--Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Joey Bishop--and is particularly poignant with regard to Davis, who was treated as a god on stage but with utter contempt off it. This is maybe not the greatest piece of documentary film making ever made, but with a subject this engaging it would be difficult to fail. On the DVD: Despite the quality of much of the material involved (particularly the film of the Rat Pack performing in Las Vegas), there is a rather rushed feel to the release. DVD extras are minimal, featuring merely some dated TV footage and some equally odd trailers for other films starring the five. --Phil Udell
Network television was already wrestling with a generation gap and the rowdy cultural upheaval posed by rock when American network NBC aired this 1967 special for Nancy Sinatra, with younger viewers increasingly tuning out the typical videotaped studio productions that typified TV specials. To sidestep those conventions (and, one suspects, to showcase the stars modest performing gifts to best advantage), director Jack Haley Jr. shot Movin with Nancy on film in and around Los Angeles, yielding sequences that anticipate the visual experiments that would characterise music videos more than a decade later. The results are intriguing: for Sinatras fans, the chance to see her in all her leggy, mini-skirted glory will be irresistible, but amateur pop sociologists will be at least as fascinated by the period details and some unwittingly bizarre undercurrents. For the putative teen viewers of the day, theres the psychedelic montage of "Some Velvet Morning", one of several duets with Sinatras frequent partner at that time, Lee Hazlewood (a country-tinged, B-team Sonny to her blonde variation on Cher), interweaving the two singers on horseback and making much out of bewildering references to Euripides Phaedra. For the grown-ups, there are segments teaming her with Dean Martin (awkwardly addressed as her "god-uncle") and Sammy Davis Jr., as well as a reverential sequence in which she caresses oversized posters of her famous father (including a still from his then-current crime feature, Tony Rome, depicting him with a menacing pistol) that raises all sorts of knotty psychiatric issues. The mix of Rat Pack glitz, flower power, and mainstream pop gets an added kick with Day-Glo fashions cut to Carnaby Street lines, vintage commercials for Royal Crown Cola ("Its a mad, mad, mad, mad cola!"), and pop covers that likewise lock in a sense of temporal dislocation as Nancy gamely tackles "Up, Up and Away" (in a hot air balloon, of course) and "Who Will Buy?" from Oliver!, here goosed with go-go powered dancing. --Sam Sutherland, Amazon.com
