Crooks plan and execute a daring race-track robbery.
Tough noir-style heist drama, meticulously directed with an unusual time structure and a first-rate cast.
On rewatching: perfect noir thriller, every view you find new details.
Halliwell**: "Incisive, entertaining, downbeat caper movie clearly influenced by The Asphalt Jungle and Rififi."
Maltin***1/2: "The film that really put Kubrick on the map - a case study of a racetrack heist, with a colorful cast of characters...Major flaw: the Dragnet-style narration."
