excellent b movie crime caper story with an a movie complex twist pull by the caper mr. big and preston foster a mr. foster ( how creative . ) . all the stereotypical movie bad or tough guy you love to hate be here . jack elam and lee van cleef and and neville brand in typically bad guy role and and all be tough and great and threaten . hey and that must be what get them their reps. suffice to say and foster a mr. big have it all figure to take everything in the end with all the others involve in the caper lose out and that all of the story i will tell and but it play out quite tense in spot . john payne be the good bad guy with exotic collen gray a the love interest and stick in the story more or less to make sure that romance loving gal buy ticket too . payne wore 3 lift to get him up to john wayne or bob mitchum height so he would look the hero part well and he puff up to his full lift height more than once when confront the 3 bad men . he play his b film bob mitchum role here pretty well and but foster and the 3 bad men be the best thing in the story with foster the best of the bunch in his forceful and convincing role . gray have only a small supporting role but really sparkle when she be flirt with her man of the future . one of the best b noirs and right up there with most a and but not up to the level of the asphalt jungle and the killer and or out of the past . those be the very best noirs and but this one be well worth see .
