Description	Bitter about being forced into retirement, a colonel (wittily embodied by Jack Hawkins) ropes a cadre of former British army men into aiding him in a one-million-pound bank robbery—a risky, multitiered plan that involves infiltrating a military compound. A delightful cast of British all-stars, including Richard Attenborough, Bryan Forbes, and Roger Livesey, brings to life this precisely calibrated caper, which was immensely popular and influenced countless Hollywood heist films.

A terrific, b&w classic starring Jack Hawkins (BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI) and Richard Attenborough (THE GREAT ESCAPE). But all the actors are in for the ride. This movie really set the example for a good many heist films of the future. An ex-army Colonel (played with great aplomb by Hawkins), leads a group of ex-military on a daring bank heist in the middle of London! How? Well you have to watch to gain the full appreciation of this fine film. BEST SCENE: the high command visits the base and "the general" makes his subordinates taste the food on the base.....
