One of the least well-known films in William Friedkin's illustrious career, THE BRINK'S JOB is a comedy caper based on a real-life heist that took place in 1950. The strong cast is headed by a thoroughly engaging Peter Falk, taking a break from COLUMBO, and ably supported by the likes of Peter Boyle and Warren Oates. This is very much a character-based comedy with the occasional bit of slapstick and pratfall to see it through. If you're looking for a fast pace and lots of hijinks then you'll be disappointed. However, it's likeable enough and has a great sense of time and place, so there's that to recommend it.
