Plot summary

A gang of thieves plan a daring bank robbery, making their escape across the rooftops of Los Angeles. The police are quickly called in, however, and only one of the robbers, Murdock, makes a clean getaway. Unfortunately, in order to do so, he is forced to dump the stolen cash into a mailbox, which he then finds is locked until midnight, forcing him to wait until the mailman makes his late night pickup. As he waits, he discovers that his hiding place has been observed by several other people, all of whom want a share of the loot.

This is an above average second feature heist movie that has a gritty start but develops into more of a "romantic" caper as the loot needs to be retrieved from a mailbox. Both leads have a charming chemistry and the supporting "hoods" are well drawn save for Jeff Goldblum as a somewhat limp "Wild One" bike boy. Often available on YouTube. I had not heard of this movie.

A good entertainment with Cybill Shepherd a highlight

If like me you fell in love with Cybill Shepherd after her appearance in Taxi Driver (1976) then you'll be thrilled to discover this little flick, as I was.

Appearing in the same year as Taxi Driver, it's a fun-filled romp that combines crime and comedy in a way that manages to keep you watching and not become annoyingly cute. That's not as easy as you think.

It starts off with a blast of action as four former Marines, all scarred in one way or another by the Vietnam War, rob a bank and then proceed to execute a tightly-planned getaway. Naturally, things don't work out quite the way they planned and therein lies the pivot to the rest of the film.

Cybill enters the scene at around 25 minutes in and she's a delight from the word go. Clearly there to fulfill the need for a female sidekick, she delivers in spades. Cybill had so much personality and is so naturally flirtatious and filled with mischief, its impossible to take your eyes off her.

I don't know much about Bo Svenson other than he looks like he could be an ex-football player. He has the sort of physicality that lends itself to this role but he struggles a bit with the subtle touches and witty dialogue. It kind of works because he's not required to do TOO much here other than run and fight.

To add some layers to the plot, another character is introduced in the form of a low-level grifter and drug pusher played by Michael C Graff who happens to witness the key plot development.

This serves to drive the film forward and keep our interest piqued. He's ably supported by fellow bad guys played by Vic Tayback (another reliable 70s presence) and Robert Ito.

Also of interest is Jeff Goldblum, who makes an appearance as a motorcycle thug.

All in all its a solidly entertaining film ably directed by Paul Wendkos that delivers the goods (no pun intended) and doesn't take itself too seriously. Particularly a must for fans of Cybill Shepherd.
