The summary is wrong...but it's still a decent film.

According to the summary currently posted on IMDB, the film is about a stupid young man who gets mixed up with gangsters and his long-suffering mother is beside herself. Well, that's not at all correct. Instead, the mother herself is a criminal and part of a gang of thieves and she does it all to afford to take care of her son (Skip Homier)! But it gets weird when you learn that somehow, Mama has become deaf AND blind...yet she oddly is the fence for the gang. Eventually the son finds out and desperately wants his mother to get out...though she wants ONE more job. And, of course, things go very wrong from there.

The biggest reason I saw this low budgeted British film is because Sean Connery has a small role in it towards the beginning of his career. He is okay. As for the film, it's not exactly brilliant and the deaf/blind angle is too weird, but it IS enjoyable and worth seeing.
