A Danzigers quickie from the pen of Brian Clemens, creator of 'The Avengers', who creates an ensemble of interesting characters amply done justice by a cast of whom several went on to appear in the TV series. (Philip Saville, who plays 'Seppy', who by then had long given up acting for directing, went one better by actually living with Diana Rigg during the run of the series).
SPOILERS COMING: The title sounds more like a comedy, but it begins conventionally enough with a trio of swarthy, foreign-looking bank robbers arriving in the fictitious town of Riverford with the intention of tunnelling into the local bank through the wall of Gordon Jackson's grocery shop. (Michael Mellinger, who plays the safe-cracker Vince, may be familiar to today's viewers as Goldfinger's henchman Kisch, who later led the rather more ambitious raid on Fort Knox.)
Jackson is carrying a lot of baggage to start with, since he's only got one leg after a road accident, but lightens up considerably after the robbery itself, which is actually over fairly quickly. Again in defiance of the title, the latter part of the film abruptly shifts gear, with the arrest of most of the gang even taking place offscreen. The film instead focuses on Jackson teaming up with bank clerk Warren Mitchell to play detective (rather like the unexpected bond that formed between Bill Elliott and Lucien Littlefield in Hubert Cornfield's 'Sudden Danger') before returning to the arms of his patient wife, played by the perennially handsome & charming Sarah Lawson.
