Summary:Vier junge unbescholtene Männer, ehemalige Kriegsteilnehmer, die in Geldnot geraten sind, unternehmen gemeinsam in London einen Raubüberfall. Eine kriminalpsychologische Studie mit genauer Charakterzeichnung. Aus dem Zusammenfließen der verschiedenen Berufs- und Eheschicksale ergibt sich ein bewegendes, hervorragend gespieltes Drama, das über die ohnehin fesselnde Kriminalgeschichte hinauswirkt. - Ab 16. [Film-Dienst]
Abstract:"Amoral aristocrat Miles Ravenscourt (Laurence Harvey) plots a daring robbery to settle his gambling debts in this taut, tough thriller played out on the shadowy streets of post-war London. Enlisting the aid of washed-up former boxer Mike (Stanley Baker), ex-GI Joe (Richard Basehart) and US airman Eddie (John Ireland), Ravenscourt sets out to plan the perfect heist. But is there any such thing as a sure thing? Boasting a stellar cast that also includes Gloria Grahame, Joan Collins and Robert Morley, this compelling crime picture is presented in both its original theatrical version and in an extended export cut, originally intended for international audiences."
