Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Robin and the 7 Hoods is a 1964 American musical comedy film directed by Gordon Douglas and starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Bing Crosby. It features Peter Falk and Barbara Rush, with an uncredited cameo by Edward G. Robinson. Written by David R. Schwartz, the film reimagines the Robin Hood legend in a 1920s Chicago gangster setting. Produced by Frank Sinatra, the film introduced the hit song "My Kind of Town" by Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn, which was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song and achieved a life of its own independent of the film.
