To help the li'l scudder develop a proper sense of self-esteem, Festus lies, telling Sancho he really saved the day, didn't he? (Nope.) This is an episode with no redeeming value, intellectual or entertainment-wise. Sancho warns Festus, but it's too late - but everything turns out all right, anyway. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop, and Peter Lawford formed the core of the Rat Pack, and they appeared together in several. Outside of filling the hour, his presence serves no purpose other than to reveal that the woman (Loretta Swit) who's escorting her friend (who's recently experienced parturition) to the fort where her husband is stationed, is actually the wife of the /prisoner/ Matt is escorting to the fort. The so-called Rat Pack wasn't a group in the normal sense, but consisted of a loose confederation of actors, comedians, and singers lumped together by the media under that name in the early '60s. Of course we know how this is going to work out, don't we? It's actually worse - not only is he (apparently) reformed, but he's adopted by Norteamericanos - which I no more believe than I believe Godzilla has minty-fresh breath. The Rat Pack Now is a world-class tribute show recapturing the music, style, comedy, and camaraderie of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. In the 1960s, the group featured Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop, and Peter Lawford, among others. They originated as a group of A-list show business friends who met casually at the Los Angeles home of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. Here, the late Manuel Padilla Jr plays an abused child ('Sancho') who knows little else but to steal. The Rat Pack was an informal group of entertainers, the second iteration of which ultimately made films and appeared together in Las Vegas casino venues. One reason for avoiding children is that they can lead to the commission of one of the worst dramatic crimes - gross sentimentality. There's a show business dictum that you should never work with children or animals. David Blum wrote the article after witnessing several young actors (Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, and Judd Nelson) being mobbed by groupies at Los Angeles Hard Rock Cafe.

As a form of artistic casserole, it is not particularly palatable. The term 'Brat Pack', a play on the Rat Pack from the 1950s and 1960s, was first popularized in a 1985 New York magazine cover story, which described a group of highly successful film stars in their early twenties. The Rat Pack was a supergroup of actors originally centred on their leader, Humphrey Bogart, until his death in 1957.By the 1960's, it was the name used by the press and the general public to refer to a later variation of the group that called itself 'the Summit' or 'the Clan,' featuring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop. 'The Pack Rat' seems to have been cobbled together from two scripts that came up short.
