Robbery (Film Comment Selects)
Made a year before the late Peter Yates directed Bullitt, this rarely seen caper about the Great Train Robbery opens with an extended diamond heist and police pursuit—as thrillingly executed as its more famous follow-up. With a cast of British regulars giving low-key, lived-in performances.
Made a year before the late Peter Yates came to America to direct Bullitt, this rarely seen caper about the Great Train Robbery opens with an extended diamond heist and police pursuit—as thrillingly executed as anything in its more famous follow-up.
