Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Straightforward thriller in which a staid bank clerk (Baker) becomes aware of brighter horizons when he meets the invitingly luscious Andress, who is more or less estranged from her impecunious husband, a layabout peer of the realm (Warner). He therefore evolves a plan, in which all three members of the triangle take part, to rob his own bank. Familiar stuff, right down to the airport finale in which all foregather for a last ironic flourish; but it's competently staged (after a queasily 'stylish' beginning) and well performed.Author: TM
