User Reviews

The most polite Crooks one can ever meet

This film has its moments, but it is not laugh out loud, hysterically funny. Cesar Romero plays Telly's inept crime boss friend, who finances a robbery in England. The characters behave like they are in a 1960's television sitcom, with no laugh track. See this film only if you are a fan of Telly Savalas, or enjoy the Nostalgia of 1960's comedy capers.
