An embittered ex-army colonel ( Jack Hawkins ) assembles a seven man team ( including Richard Attenborough ) of similarly disgruntled former military men to stage a million pound bank robbery, The script by Brian Forbes ( who plays one of the robbers ) is well plotted and full of humour without the film becoming a comedy, How the robbery is organised and executed is ingenious and exciting.The cast is full of excellent character actors from the 1960s. A thoroughly enjoyable crime film which is a must buy for any fan of classic British cinema. The extras on the blu-ray are interesting and informative,
