REVIEWS

Review by Frank E Gibbard (posted on 1-Jun-2005)

Just watched this on Satellite TCM: a sterling effort by all concerned. Great old British MGM staple. Good acting all round by stalwarts the American star and I think very early Peter O'Toole eclipsing him somewhat in a pivotal if minor role of an indolent officer at the Bank. Terrific cameo by the old Irish actor as the sewer expert to lead the way underground.

Bags of tension during the heist though you know they cannot get away. A bit of a quick denoument though, to my mind a silent exchange of looks and no last words left me unfulfilled but unsurprised as an easy option for the writer. All the same a splendid piece I would thoroughly recommend.
