Old blagger Egan (Crahan Denton) assembles a team to rob a bank in St. Louis. The team includes young George (Steve McQueen) as the getaway driver, although he has no experience in this kind of caper. While Egan begins to plan the heist intricately, there is a complication. George used to go out with the sister, Ann (Molly McCarthy) of his fellow bank robber Gino (David Clarke). When she sees Gino and George together, near a bank, she puts two and two together and makes five...
The film is a bit slow, though has plenty of atmosphere and some interesting and fairly dark asides including Egan explaining why he hates women so much. The action is pretty sparse though until the actual robbery near the end. The film was based on a real raid and some of the police and bank employees from the real case took part in this.
An interesting film but could have been more.
