A dramatization of the Great Train Robbery. While not a 'how to', it is very detail dependent, showing the care and planning that took place to pull it off. Written by John Vogel <jlvogel@comcast.net>
I watched "Robbery" on TV for the first time in years yesterday and was impressed by the quality and reality of the story-line and the characters.
Every scene had an interesting meaning to it and the characters all behaved in a consistent manner - which is very refreshing to see in an age where stories are tailored just to meet the aura or egos of its stars. A big credit for this goes to the writers and the director. The acting of Stanley Baker and James Booth was also outstanding.
All in all a very enjoyable experience - which should appeal to film-lovers like me that are entertained by high quality production values and realistic stories.
