Anecdotes
It was the realistic car chase through the streets of London in this picture, that led to director Peter Yates doing another car chase in San Francisco a year later. Steve McQueen personally wanted Yates for what turned out to be his highest grossing film Bullitt (1968).

Gaffes
When the traffic warden puts the gas canister in the car, a white cable can be seen draping from the inside of the door and this is seen to be connected to the device as he removes it from his bag. There is no sign of the cable in the following close-up shot from his point of view.

Tightly done, no nonsense caper, Yates style

This movie is well made, with a typical trade mark approach by the crime picture craftsman Peter Yates was. There's no big bang, no unnecessary violence, just the pace that tells the story. This method Yates used successfully in his Hollywood years building up a plot without too much distraction from standard story fillers, which produced great films such as "Bullitt" and "The Friends of Eddie Coyle". In this one Yates gives the audience just enough to paint a picture of a big time robbery, with minimal character development but enough to serve the purpose.

A must see for the fans of this classic director, not great but rather good crime movie that they don't make any more.
