Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

classicsoncall Notwithstanding all the positive comments for this movie by other reviewers, nobody else mentioned all those stacks and stacks of money during the early tour at the Bureau of Engraving. I went on one of those tours once and seeing all those sheets piled up and ready to be cut into bills is a mind blowing experience.Well this is a farcical comedy that's as implausible as one can imagine but it's a fun romp with a fine cast of comedians from the Sixties. Attempting to replace a fifty thousand dollar bundle of hundred dollar bills he accidentally took home and destroyed, Harry Lucas (Jim Hutton) hits upon a plan to replace the money before it's missed. Problem is, each character he brings into his scheme comes up with a reason he'll need another 'partner'. On top of that, their participation in the caper comes with a gradually increasing fee until the initially reluctant Harry tops it out at a million bucks apiece! If you're paying attention you'll wind up wondering why Harry's crew winds up completely dry right after they all get soaked in the sewer system on the way to the engraving vault. Speaking of which, no one mentioned the odor down there seeing as how Washington, D.C. produces it's fair share of you know what with all the politicians working there. You know, I think the producers for the film missed a casting opportunity by not hiring Art Carney for his 'Honeymooners' experience as an underground sewer worker. He would have fit right in with Berle, Gilford, Brennan and all the rest.One more goof - when Captain Victor Buono comes to the rescue with his fleet of kiddie boats, he's seen arriving in a miniature tugboat pulling five additional small boats for the rest of his 'crew'. However upon leaving, there are seven boats, one each for Harry, Verna, Luther, Dugan, Ralph, Pop Gillis and beagle Inky with her newborn pups. I guess no one made a head count on the way in.You know what really got my attention though? When Harry tries to rationalize printing seven million dollars to admirer Verna (Dorothy Provine) and she balks at the idea, he actually uses what would come to be known as the Hillary Clinton defense four decades later - 'What difference does it make'? Well if you like to take in a mindless comedy every now and then this can be an enjoyable flick. The unintended consequences unleashed by the printing scheme multiply like falling dominoes and when it's over, the players have to endure their own 'Treasure of the Sierra Madre' moment when all their cash goes bye-bye. The hardy troopers didn't even seem all that upset about it.One last thing - if you stayed to the closing credits, you'll note that Inky the beagle was played by Peanuts. Why not just let the poor dog use it's own name?

sj_elliott I saw this movie in the movies as a kid. When it came out on VHS I bought it and my kids became fans. I still have it on VHS and wish I had it on DVD. Everyone is superb and all the gags are great. I love the end where they're in the van with the church music playing.Jim Hutton was a great actor and this is one of the funniest things he did. He is surrounded by an absolutely hilarious supporting cast. It's a well-made farce and the premise is so ridiculous that everything becomes even funnier as the movie goes on.I've asked countless people in my life if they've ever seen this movie and they say they haven't even heard of it. It's a pity because it's really a delightful movie. I loved it, my kids loved it and I hope my grandkids love it. I just wish it would come out on DVD!!!

monk-18 Why doesn't this get more respect? Each time I see this (now going on #8) it gets better as surrealism in commercial 1960s America. The cast is stellar and performances are memorable. The plot is sufficiently twisted to make this late-night TV movie a classic of one error that leads to many more errors at ridiculous lengths. I have too many favorite scenes here to claim one as a favorite. The straight man Jim Hutton is more patient than required by the role of the straight man. His attempt to rescue cash lost in a garbage disposal leads to an unlikely but ever-growing payroll of a deaf safe-cracker (Jack Gilford),pompous toy boat captain Victor "My only aversion to vice is the price" Buono, Bob Denver, Milton Berle with a face of green ink mistaken for George Washington by a drunk staring down a sewer, and a pregnant dog in scuba gear.Whatever can go wrong will, including the place of this farce amongst other American farces.

GJF118 Like other reviewers here, I have always wondered why this wonderful film has been forgotten. Not only is it a great parody of the 'anatomy of a crime' films that were popular in the 1960's, it showcases some marvelous comedy talent. One little quibble: the title is a misnomer; the conspirators do NOT break into the US Mint. They break into the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing (the facility in Washington, DC which prints our paper currency).
