Kuinka pankki ryöstetään

This is a funny, quirky little film that turns up on tv every once in awhile. Here, Tom Ewell and Mickey Rooney, two every day guys without money, decide to pull off a bank robbery to help ease their horse racing gambling debts. It comes off as poor man's ODD COUPLE odyssey as Ewell and Rooney make a mess of everything, although they do manage to rob a bank. There is a excellent supporting cast of familiar faces, particularly Frances Bavier as Ewell's doting landlady, complete with apron and stuck in the kitchen, which may have inspired her casting for Aunt Bee on the Andy Griffith Show.

Also there is pretty Dina Merrill (as the proverbial gal pal), Richard Deacon and former Bowery Boy Stanley Clements, still acting like one of the Bowery Boys! Produced through 20th century Fox, and in black and white. One of those movies for a lazy Saturday afternoon, especially for all of us old movie buffs.
