Viewing Notes

Since some of the Di Leo titles on NWI were having issues, I opted for a related film instead. The connection here is Henry Silva, who really gets a nice, vicious role to dig into in Johnny Cool.

Lots of Sinatra-connected people in on this film, including a small part played by Sammy Davis, Jr. Other Frankie pals include Joey Bishop and Mort Sahl.

This movie is also a who’s who of TV actors, including the stunningly beautiful Elizabeth Montgomery as Dare, who most people know better as Samantha, from Bewitched. Seriously, she’s GORGEOUS in this film. Also making appearances are Richard Anderson from Six Million Dollar Man, Brad Dexter, a supporting actor in practically every TV show ever in the ‘50s and ‘60s. Elisha Cook Jr. and Telly Savalas also make appearances.
