  DVD Review: Robin and the 7 Hoods
The last of the "Rat Pack" screen vehicles, "Robin and the Seven Hoods" is a rather interesting and occasionally entertaining entry into the gangster genre.
VIDEO: "Robin and the 7 Hoods" is presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen by Warner Brothers.
SOUND: "Robin" is presented with a mono soundtrack and, as with "Ocean's 11", the sound quality is perfectly fine, considering the age of the picture.

 TechnoFILE Reviews "Robin and the 7 Hoods" on DVD
Sinatra is a hood with a difference, though: he may be a bootlegger and casino owner, but he also knows how to spread the wealth around to those in need.
There's also a Behind the Scenes documentary "What they Did to Robin Hood" that's really just a short promo for the movie (not that there's anything wrong with that) and a little bit of cast/crew filmography.
The Robin and the 7 Hoods DVD doesn't compare with Ocean's 11 (perhaps because there's no remake for it to compete with), and neither does the movie itself, but it's a good disc nonetheless and a worthwhile viewing.

 Robin And The 7 Hoods - Movie Review
The legend of Robin Hood gets a curious and not entirely successful updating with Frank Sinatra's Robin and the 7 Hoods, with Sinatra taking the role of a 1930s gangster in Chicago -- at least an alternate-universe version sans Al Capone.
He ends up donating the money to charity -- and suddenly, the legend of Robin Hood, who robs from the rich and gives to the poor, is born.
The film's more entertaining elements are its light moments -- Martin hustling Sinatra at pool while scamming on a cocktail waitress, Robbo's new casino, which converts to a Bible-session hall at the touch of a button should the cops come knocking.
