i recently buy this movie on dvd at a discount store for $ 5 . although it be a no frill dvd on the geneon label ( just the movie that start play immediately no menu and no special feature ) the picture and sound quality be excellent . the movie be base on the true story of one of the big bank robbery in history . richard jordan and who i must admit to not have hear of and play the lead pinky green . a charming young man who have spend too much of his few year in prison and now want to go straight but be not allow to do so . he portray an american in england . david niven play the lead bad guy and also with the great charm for which he be famous . bad and but with scruple a when he refuse to deny pinky his whack for the job . whack and in england and apparently be the fair share of the take and not a bullet in the head a in american gangster film . all the support cast do an excellent job produce a very believable movie . what be perhaps best and to me and be that the whole movie be quite enjoyable and understandable ( i frequently find myself lose in plot confusion and various character ) without any special effect . no blood . no violence . not even a single car chase . just a well write story and well act and well direct and well photograph . if i have any complaint about the movie and i would question the music . what be bluegrass music do in a bank heist story that take place in england .
