A timid bank clerk and a businessman join forces to conceive and execute a bullion robbery.
The best movie about a crime caper
ever made and also one of the funniest comedies ever made in Britain.
There is nothing threatening about it, it is a cosy film very typical
of the Ealing style.
Audrey Hepburn made her
film debut in this movie as a waitress.
