Manthast Absolutely amazing

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

neldodm Great thriller. I can't believe that was filmed in 1968! That was a wonderful year for the cinema. The rhythm is excellent for a film of that time. The plot and twists shows a marvelous creativity (never seen in another film until 2018: the rob is so ingenious!). The music is so beautiful that became a classic! Unforgettable film to recommend to everyone that love police stories! OK, it's not perfect, some errors, etc., but you'll enjoy it anyway!

Art Vandelay That's what we were supposed to notice, right? To be fair there's lots of cheesy fun when viewing this movie 50 years later: Lockwood's Mustang and all the other beautiful rides. The Strip at night. That long shot of the desert when Lockwood is scouting. Jack Palance and Lee J. Cobb simply being in the movie. The Skype-like devices the characters use to call each other. Horrible dubbing. The prototype of the EM-50 Urban Assault Vehicle popularized in Stripes. The man-made sand dunes that bring the EM-50 to a complete halt instead of just driving around them on the perfectly flat desert. The punch cards when Elke is doing data entry. And the magnetic tape storage. Did I mention Elke's rack?I actually enjoyed the '60s music. Reminded me of my childhood when elevators played Muzak. But by far my favorite part is the way the actors ''die.'' They throw themselves into dying fits like we did as kids when we played with toy guns. Not a great film by any stretch. But plenty of cheese to fill a couple of hours.

seccap03 I have searched high and low for this movie as i had seen it 'way back in 1968 when it first came out. the movie has an intricate plot as both elke sommers and gary lockwood are lovers while the owner of the casino (lee j. cobb) is not aware of this. the revenge factor kicks in as gary lockwood's brother leo,is killed. gary is not after the money he just want to prove that the robbery is possible,as the casino owner always brags that his casino is inmune to robbery.gary plays a cold-blooded killer as an innocent passerby is wasted during the heist as he wants to make sure that no one is a witness to the robbery which was executed by his henchmen.

will-75 I can remember watching this film when it came out and it has been one of my favourites ever since.The atmosphere is slow but that is the correct pace as the relationship between Tony and Ann is explored as well as her relationship with Skorsky. Also, the tension between the thieves is very real especially as things don't go exactly to plan. Cooper is an idiot but there is always one in every gang and it sometimes doesn`t show up until they are put into a stress related situation.There are two plots going through the film. Firstly we have Skorsky (played superbly by Cobb,) moving money for the Mob and wanting out and secondly we have Tony planning to steal one of Skorsky`s trucks. Tony doesn't realise what he is going to find when he finally gets inside the truck. Also, the treasury department are after Skorsky for his financial dealings and we have them just one step behind him all throughout the film.There are some excellent moments of complete realism, the killing in the casino and the scant regard for life that the gang has as they murder a passer by in the dessert `Just in case'. Tony's instruction to end this unfortunate person's life was simply `Chop him'.I have just managed to obtain a CD of the music to this film by George Garvarentz via Amazon. I wish the video of the film was available, a widescreen version would be very collectable. Especially if people knew that Gary Lockwood`s (Tony,) previous film had been 2001.
