$ (1971)


Columbia Pictures
Directed by Richard Brooks
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Sony)

Warren Beatty uses his position as a trusted bank security expert to pull of an elaborate inside job. Goldie Hawn is his accomplice who uses sex to get valuable information from their victims. Beatty stages a robbery that results in his getting locked in the bank vault, where he steals the cash crooks have stashed in safe deposit boxes. They almost get away with it, until the crooks figure out what happened and come looking for their money. A long, somewhat implausible, chase ends the movie. Goldie and Warren are hard to take seriously as bank robbers, but it is undeniably entertaining.
