A terrific gem of a film.
Three elderly men are so bored with their lives that they rob a bank and actually get away with it for a while.
The trio are all masterfully played by Art Carney, Lee Strasberg and George Burns.
With the robbery behind them, it's time for vacation in flashy Las Vegas. Coming back to face the ultimate music, 2 of our "heroes" pass on and leave the rest of the story and the loot to the survivor.
A sad but extremely effective commentary on retirement and old age. If you're contemplating retirement, miss this film until you know how you're going to spend your days.
