... having good times". And a good time you'll have when you see this brilliant thriller which features the Eric Burdon song very prominently. Along with "Dog Day Afternoon" this is my favourite bank heist movie, but "Die Katze" has the advantage of (dare I say it ?) better actors (especially Heinz Hönig and Ralf Richter are great), a more complex and clever plot and a tougher attitude.
The ending is one of the best in any movie: When Ehser cheerfully answers "Good." to the question "How are you?" it's the truth and the biggest lie at the same time. And then Eric Burdon starts to sing again...
Mr. Graf, I beg you, please don't waste your time on TV. "Die Katze" and "Die Sieger" are your best films and you just must return to the big screen. Please!
