      This movie went massively overbudget and caused such a major cash crisis that Columbia Pictures nearly went out of business, until a fund of German dentists, Cinerenta, agreed to help co-finance the studio's other movies.
    • Goofs
      Most of the male characters in the film have 1970's long hairstyles or Afros which were not accepted or socially acceptable in the late Nineteenth Century.
    • Quotes

      Chatsworth: Adam, where'd you find those two oafs?

      Adam Worth: Oh, they're not oafs, Jack. They would require practice to become oafs.

    Harry & Walter Boobed
    The idea was good but the outcome was bad, 2 quite stupid song and dance conmen, with the help of a printing team gang, frustrate a top bank robber and pull his heist before him, their bumbling plot worked but the film didn't. A very unlikely story.

    This film has a great cast, leading was Caan & Gould, with excellent suport. mostly unused, if they had more substantial roles it could have been better, Diane Keaton was probably the best, closely followed by Jack Gilford, always a class act. Caan & Gould, and Michael Caine probably overdo their roles, possibly by direction, the film was well made apart from photography which was poor.

    The trouble was with the conversion of the story to screen, and it did not work, trying to rob a bank in between doing song and dance routines was not good on the transfer to screen, so maybe a good idea, but in retrospect not, its probably why no film like it has been made since.

    I gave it a 5 for the acting and intrigue.
