Quiz
Although certificated by the BBFC in June 1961, this film did not get a release in the UK until December 1963, when it went out as the support film for Ciao ciao Birdie (1963).

Blooper
Although failing to shut the inner vault door should result in a burglar alarm going off after 30 seconds, a full 41 tension-filled seconds elapse before Fordyce closes it without triggering the alarm.

Citazioni
Fordyce: The opinion of a common thief is of no interest to me.
Hepburn: I flatter myself I am a rather *uncommon* thief. A common one would just make off with the money, but I can't help interesting myself in people. It's a failing you ought to cultivate, Fordyce.

Versioni alternative
The UK theatrical release in 1963 (two years after the U.S. release) cut the running time down to 67 minutes, eliminating character scenes involving Fordyce and the bank employees (including an early conflict between Fordyce and Pearson over allegedly falsified records, and Fordyce's subsequent denial of Pearson's request for a recommendation to transfer to a London branch).

7/10

Clever and measured with excellent performances

Well written and tight little film with a fine performance from Peter Cushing and an even better one from Andre Morell. The former plays a Scrooge like, petty minded Bank Manager (very reminiscent of many that I encountered in my banking career!) and the latter the smooth talking and rather endearing robber. It is snowing outside and by the door is a Santa ringing his bell. With the mean natured manager, the gentleman thief and the allusions to Christmas, it is clear the shadow of Dickens hovers. As well as the crisp and effective dialogue there are just enough little incidents to maintain a certain level of tension and keep this afloat despite the absence of any sensational moments. Clever and measured with excellent performances from all the support actors, this just lacks a bit of spark.
