Johnny Cool (MGM Limited Edition Collection) Review

In the early 1960's the Hollywood Rat Pack, made up of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Peter Lawford and other so-called swingers of the era, were so popular that they could get any movie green-lighted. Consequently they produced a few great films and several notable turkeys. In my opinion, "Johnny Cool" is one of their best. It's got a fast-moving plot, lots of action and - like all Rat Pack films - beautiful dames. In this case the beauty is stunning young Elizabeth Montgomery a few years before her signature role in TV's "Bewitched." The story line is simple but plausible: an infamous Sicilian gangster is spirited away to the United States in order to kill off the leaders of an opposing mob faction. Surprisingly the story is very loosely based on fact; the real Salvatore Giordano, Henry Silva's character, was a tough Sicilian ganglord who became an American ally and renowned anti-Nazi guerrilla fighter during World War II. After V-E Day Giordano reverted to his criminal ways and was eventually gunned down by the local police. In the film Giordano's death is faked and he's transported to America as a hired gun. The film is in black & white which lends it a kind of gritty timeliness. Henry Silva, who made his bones playing heavies in movies like "The Tall T" and a "Hatful of Rain" before he struck gold in 1960's "Ocean's 11" is at the top of his game here. For those who like vintage action flicks I give this film my highest recommendation.
