Can you guess what this film is about? There you go, so that's the plot summary.
The film is well-made and the acting is good on all counts. Charles McGraw is usually a sign that the film will be good and here he plays the detective on the tail of the armoured car robbery gang, led by William Talman, who is also good in all his roles. Talman leads a gang of four who have to work out how to divide the money and flea before they get caught.
Talman has got an unusually large head. You know when people wear hats, there is usually a top bit of the hat that contains air and no actual head. Think of a top hat. There is a big gap of air under the top bit of the hat. Well, imagine if the top bit of the top hat was filled out by someone's head. That is Talman.
The story keeps you watching but I'm afraid it never set alight on the excitement front as it includes the very convenient get-out clause of 'shoot them'. Once the shot has been fired, that's it - end of scene. Bang! You're dead. Not very exciting or interesting, I'm afraid. As one of my bosses once said to me - lazy thinking!
