A rather plain London banker called Mr Graham (Stanley Baker) joins forces with an odd married couple Lord and Lady Dorset (David Warner and Ursula Andress) to rob the bank where he works. The Dorsets may be aristocrats but they're pretty much skint. What's more Lady Dorset and Graham start sleeping together, forming a love triangle in addition to a criminal one. British crime comedy that despite some rave reviews I found to be rather boring. I'll put my hands up and admit that the only reason that I watched this was to see Ursula spend much of her screen time nude, though sadly it is done in a way that shows no full frontal. The first hour or so is incredibly talky and after a while this became quite a bore. The bank heist and double crossing that follows are alright but by this time I'd all but lost interest. The acting is fine, Ursula looks fantastic whether she's speeding around in her Sunbeam sports car or stripped off in the bedroom. Nice to see Johnny Briggs as an amusing London cabby, he went on to become a British household name by playing Mike Baldwin in the long running British soap "Coronation Street". I found the musical score very irritating, the same silly fairground type tune is played over and over and over. As one other reviewer states, "Not my cup of tea".
