American ex-con Pinky Green (a fine and likeable portrayal by Richard Jordan) lands a job working as an electrician at a bank after he gets released from prison. Pinky is coerced by old criminal cohort Ivan (the always delightful David Niven) to help out with a daring robbery of said bank.
Director Ralph Thomas relates the enjoyable story at a snappy pace, maintains an amiable lighthearted tone throughout, and stages the exciting big heist with skill and flair. The sound acting from a capable cast rates as another substantial asset: Oliver Tobias as Pinky's loyal brother Foxy, Elke Sommer as sexy bank worker Miss Pelham, Gloria Grahame as Pinky's concerned mother, and Richard Johnson as the hard-nosed Inspector Watford. The jaunty score by Stanley Myers keeps things bubbling along. A nifty movie.
