Yea the group are one of the biggest contributors to modern day diversity in the music industry... Sinatra took Sammy under his wing, Sammy didn't need teaching or guidance because he was fantastic in his own right but his skin colour restricted his genius, in fact Sinatra was the reason blacks were able to go to Las Vegas, perform and stay the night in the same hotel!

The very best. Love the Rat Pack and miss them.

Where can I find an act like this today?......today people listen too computer generated voices, and believe its the best....and argue that Im old and don't know real music (todays music)...its the change of times...its sad, but true...

Sammy's ed sullivan impression perfect. Talented guy's. People came for the entertainment. When one headlined the others often showed up for the fun

Thanks for the upload. Havent seen this bit.

Their bespoke evening cloths are immaculate! Sammya broke the color line in Vegas (with the help of Frank.) Great to see that Joey and Peter were dripped from the act on the second night. They don't add anything to the mix.

Absolutely love

The NAACP gag -- in the HBO film The Rat Pack, they blow the bit. Dean (Mantenga) says, "I'd like the thank the NAACP for this wonderful AWARD". The line is TROPHY -- Sammy was a tiny guy..hence the line, TROPHY -- a miniature statue! At 5:50, Sinatra knocks the ice shovel off the bar, as Dean falls down, during Sammy's impression of Lionel Barrymoore..to set up Dean's gag later..."Jingle Bells..." These guys were pros with superb timing.

The "award" is a lot smoother then "trophy." Trophy is rough and it's not a very good fit. Who ever wrote that like should have heard that. These "Summit" shows were very tightly scripted, but these three guys were such pros that it was hard to tell. Only when Bishop and Lawford are on, does it become obvious.

At 8:02, Sammy sneaks in a Bela Lugosi impersonation..Lugosi, the original Dracula. When Lugosi died, broke, Sinatra paid for his funeral -- having never even met Mr. Lugosi.

I heard it said ether in a documentary or read it somewhere that a lot of the comedy routines that looked to be ad lib were really written by Joey Bishop who was also a part of the rat pack and the last of that group to pass away.

What most people aren’t aware is during that time middle America were not comfortable with a black man sharing the stage with white artists. Martin and Sinatra had to deliberately drop colour innuendos just to appease the bigoted audiences. Not only did it work but they gave Sammy the platform to shine and showcase his immense talent.

Interesting to see how this act evolved into the famous Frank Sinatra Spectacular

too bad this cuts in a few minutes after Sammy mentions hes smoking a joint between Dino and Frank

Luke, Just heard that Sinatra's longtime valet, George Jacobs, died on Dec. 28, at 86. Jacobs penned the book "Mr. S and Me" in 2003. Sinatra fired Jacobs after a gossip column reported him dancing with Mia Farrow at a nightclub. Jacobs went to work for George Hamilton -- George said Jacobs was more interested in being a celebrity than a valet. Hamilton's co-author on his last book "Don't Mind If I Do" was the same guy who co-wrote Jacobs' book.

Sammya doing Will Jorden doing Ed Sullivan. Wonderful. This was tightly scripted and rehearsed. If you watch it a couple of times slowly, and watch the guys not featured for that moment, you can see the setups for the physical stuff. Most of the act is making fun of Sam and each of them looking like they're chastising each other for certain moves or saying things. Notice that Sammie doesn't drink the drinks he pours. but the other guy do.

Little known fact---Frank also saved Joey Bishop's life one night. Outside the Sands, two goons had Joey on the ground..they were kicking him, punching him..it was horrible. Frank walked out and saw this and said, "Tony...Vinnie....that's good enough!" -- saved his life! I'm here all week, try the veal!

What did Mr. Dean say at 6:55 ? when Mr. Sammy asked when was the last time you're cut by a colored fella ?

It's sad that today the PC police say this was racist and Sammy was mistreated. It was 60 years ago and maybe not to todays standards but Sinatra got Sammy into the hotel and got him through the front door. Prior to that Sammy was allowed to perform there but had to enter and exit through the kitchen and had to sleep at a slum just outside of the city.

They say Sammy did a lot of Coke back then.

Always loved Mantegna..now even more! Wow -- I thought he was the best thing in the film, but the hair dept. did a crappy job on "Dean"..Mantegna's hair looked like it had been treated with Jerri Curl--too curly and oily.
