NOTES The well known rat pack film about a robbery of one of Las Vegas's casinos (the source of income for at least three of the cast, Sinatra, Martin and Davis). Richard Conte's character Tony is terminally ill doing the heist to provide for son's future. He wants to send his kid through college. He is given an undisclosed time to live. And he's still seen smoking though I don't know if he has cancer. After the robbery he collapses and dies.
As far as I remember the re-make (2001) doesn't have a similar character.
