Matt Brunson Film Frenzy An exceptional cast provides quite the lift to this unevenly paced heist flick. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 18, 2024 Full Review MFB Critics Monthly Film Bulletin An all-star Anglo-American cast has been assembled to very little purpose for this synthetic and pretentious melodrama.

Aldo G Wow! Joan Collins was absolutely gorgeous. The entire cast works well together in this crime picture that details the motivations behind each of the four men trying to make a fortune. Worth your time if you're a noir-genre lover from that period. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Not bad for the time it was made and the likely budget. Nice to see a young and beautiful Joan Collins long before "Dynasty" as well as the actress who played "Violet" in "It's a Wonderful Life." Also "Admiral Nelson" not dealing with some totally bogus undersea monster. Implausible ending but of course in movies of the era, Crime Doesn't Pay. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member good British B movie. a group of down and outs hold up a post office when things go wrong Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Rather stodgy British heist film that wants to be a tough, scrappy noir like Stanley Kubrick's "The Killing". Laurence Harvey and Gloria Grahame almost elevate the rather turgid film, but despite the stellar cast and being directed by future James Bond director, Lewis Gilbert, the film fails to be either exciting or suspenseful. Stylistically, it's a well crafted film, but the overall experience is pretty blah. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member so so psychological crime yarn Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member well umn just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a good movie 2 watch....its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie....i think that gloria grahame, joan collins, john ireland, richard basehart, laurence harvey, rene ray play good roles/parts throughout this movie....i think that the director of this drama/action/thriller movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie...its a good drama/thriller movie 2 watch n its got a good cast thorughout this movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
