The Alpha Caper (1973 TV Movie)
Cheap, too cheap, effective heist movie
14 March 2024
I remind having seen this when I was a kid, back in the late seventies. I loved it, but after a while, I have to admit that heist is very unlikely, totally unrealistic, but fun. I prefer this to the modern post OCEAN'S ELEVEN (2001) rip-offs; yes, I prefer this because there is no f....bloodin comedy line here. But, also yes, it is too short, too cheap, it could have been forty minutes longer, with a better character depiction. And the final scene is quite close to another heist bullion movie from the fifties: PLUNDER ROAD; maybe a tribute. Anyway, I like this however light hearted film. Hank Fonda excellent.
