It’s The Rat Pack meets Robin Hood in this sly Runyonesque musical revision of the Robin Hood legend, done up Chicago gangland style. Frank Sinatra stars as Robbo, caught up in a gang war with rival mobster Guy Gisborne (Peter Falk) after mob chieftain Big Jim (Edward G. Robinson, in an uncredited cameo) get the big rub-out. With allies Will (Sammy Davis, Jr,) and John (Dean Martin) at his side, Robbo gets suborned by Big Jim’s daughter Marian (Barbara Rush) to ice the man that iced her dad to the tune of 50 Gs.

Bullyoo bullyoo boy have I got news for you
I got a feeling, hap-happy feeling, this is my lucky day
Don’t want to sing the blues no more, not when I feel this way
I’m gonna rock it, ’cause in my pocket I got a load of green
I want to spread the word around so you’ll know what I mean
How do you speak to an angel?
I’m completely in the dark.
When you know that you’ve just met an angel
Is there a proper remark?
Money Burns a Hole in my Pocket is a sweet love song …. With a funny twist! In the movie, while Dean Martin is serenading her, Janet Leigh is distracting him …. From realizing that Jerry Lewis is being taken to a hospital!
Money burns a hole in my pocket
How I wish I had millions of dollars and nothing to do
But just buy pretty presents for you
I tell you every street’s a boulevard in old New York
Every street’s a highway of your dreams
It’s a thrill to shop on 34th street
Or down in Union Square
We like the people you meet
On Mulberry street, have you ever been there
In Living It Up, we first meet small town doctor Dean Martin, strumming on his guitar and singing a love ballad to a photograph of his girlfriend. The photo is of … Audrey Hepburn! Who never actually shows up in the movie.
