The Big Caper (1957)
6/10
crime noir caper
15 October 2023
Frank Harper (Rory Calhoun) lost at the horses and needs to pay back Flood (James Gregory). He suggests stealing a million dollars and gets Flood to stake the caper. There is a small bank near a military base which holds a lot of the payroll. Kay (Mary Costa) is Flood's girlfriend. She plays Frank's husband as they buy a gas station. The group starts getting recruited.

This is not so much a fun caper movie. It is a lot of romantic melodrama, underhanded double-cross, and unreliable relationships. It is an interesting crime noir although I don't like these characters. It's fine for the most part.
