I think this film missed the opportunity to belong to the heist movies making a tribute to Jules Dassin's masterpiece RIFIFI. Only because the heist sequence is not silent, and it could have been, because there were so many film like this in the sixties, so many. And the heist sequence is long enough to provide enough time for this. Unfortunately, because the jazzy score is excellent. But on the other hand, a music score, even without talks, is it totally a silent sequence? Hmmm. The score gives another atmosphere, different from the totally mute one. Not necessarily worse or better; no, just different. Besides this, nothing special to say about that movie, rather tepid and not so that interesting. The classic scheme of robbers pulling a job and then trying to get away with it. The acting and overall performances are pretty good too. Tragic ending.
