Well-constructed for its time. The whole thing is a familiar concept. Good plan, something goes wrong, and the various characters start to clash. Ray and McCallum interact well, with Sears taking on a well-played, caring role. Mullen is the more intelligent of the couple, with Duggan, as the "schlemiel," ultimately managing to summon heroism within himself. Firing the film probably went over budget...
