I went in with extremely low expectations, and anticipating many ludicrous attempts to exploit the notoriety of the beat movement. What I got instead was a decent heist flick, a villain who surprises, and even a bit of character development.

Nothing here about 'rebels' or beatniks to speak of, though the soundtrack features some really decent flute and percussion music early on to set the scene. I was kept interested all the way through and was rewarded with a pretty good chase sequence to finish things off.

A low production value film that definitely transcends its budget!

Edward Platt - before he was the boss on Get Smart. I love the fashion, interior decoration and cinematography. The acting is kinda bad, but it's fun to watch B Hollywood backlots make pale imitations of the real beatnik movement. And cash in on the Beat Generation fame.
