My rating: 7/10

Will I watch it again?  Maybe.

After seeing ROOM 43 (1958) recently and noticing the hubba hubbaliciousness of Diana Dors for the first time, I was hooked on this broad.  Wow was she smokin'!  So I hopped on the chance to see her in another picture from the same era and boy oh boy does she exude sex appeal even more than Marilyn Monroe!  Monroe was hot but this broad takes it up to a naughtier level.



Oh, so how's the picture?  It's good.  The performances are good and the story plays out nicely.  There was an unexpected moment near the end that took me by surprise.  But like a good Coen brothers picture, the crime doesn't go as planned and shit gets real and fast.  I actually felt for the bad guys.  Anyway, it's a pretty exciting flick once the day of the robbery begins all the way to the end.  I'm impressed.  I'm not familiar with the director or any of his work but there are some interesting titles in his filmography.
