Title: Tense and Exciting
Review: The last time I saw this film was in Paris many years ago, on their equivalent of SBS. How lucky we were to be there at that time.The killing is actually a robbery, planned to take place at a horse racing carnival. Sterling Hayden is the leader who has brought together a number of people, each of whom has a certain role to play. The weakness is that one of the characters has an unfaithfull wife. He is devoted to her and does all he can to keep her interest. He knows that she has no love for him, only hate and disgust. She manages to prise the robbery information out of him, then she and her lover have plans of their own.All of the characters are so well written and played that you almost hope that they will get away with the robbery. Do they??
Is the review positive or negative?
