Apparently very loosely based on an actual british bank job. Just out of prison, pinky is the electrician, working at a bank, where they don't seem to check references! He really is trying to go straight but gets caught up in a bank heist, which seems to go off perfectly. But, of course, the coppers are on to them. Pinky has the perfect alibi... he was shagging a bank employee, when they pulled the heist ! Some twists and turns in this one. Will he get away with it? It's all well done. After you have watched it, check out the trivia section. Not many details provided by wikipedia on the actual heist in 1975. The big names are david niven and elke sommer, who does a topless shower scene. I liked the film, but it may run kind of slow for some. And there are a couple scenes that we have to buy into. It's pretty vanilla compared to today's big, action filled films. Directed by ralph thomas. His last one. Thomas had made a series of "the doctor" films with dirk bogarde. Story by guy elmes. If you like bank heist films, you'll probably like it!
