Quirky 60's Heist Movie - newdaysof
James Cobourn plays a crafty ex-con who develops a scheme to rob a bank at LA airport. The plot is a little confusing at first because you're not exactly sure what's going on, but slowly, the bank robbery plan comes together.
Camilla Sparv, one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen, is absolutely captivating. It takes a James Cobourn to come close to her sex appeal and fire-power. Together they sizzle on the screen.
The ending has a slight twist where Cobourn's character pulls the heist but manages to swindle himself out of true wealth and happiness. If you like 60's films then you may enjoy this one.
