User Reviews

An OK noir from across the Channel

Produced by the Danzigers - the equivalent of the Butchers - the prolific British producers from the beginning of the sixties, and maybe far earlier, I'll check, this little B thriller is rather interesting, as far as you're interesting in heist films. This one is the usual one, OK, nothing really new, where the lead, an architect - or engineer - and also ex con, who now lives in the honest way, is blackmailed by some hoods in order to help them in a daring robbery: digging a tunnel below the street between two buildings, towards a vault where a jewels bullion is kept in safety.

Predictable at the most, without surprises, it remains an acceptable time waster for rare gems purchasers.
