Product Description
Never in the history of crime was so much taken from so many by so few... A gang of criminals acquire an old army truck and try to pass themselves off as military policemen. Their plan is to steal a £250,000 payroll intended for soldiers in the Middle East. Turpin (Stanley Baker) recruits Fenner (Tom Bell) and Swavek (Helmut Schmid) to make up a crack assault team. As the duty guard at the camp raises the barrier, Turpin knows there can be no turning back. His desperate gamble for riches will now be played out to its shattering climax...
Superb

I'd never seen this film, never even heard of it. But I found it whilst browsing Amazon and noticed that 2 of our best (deceased)actors were in it. Stanley Baker and Tom Bell. This was a very good film with an excellent script if maybe a bit far fetched, but it had me interested right up to the end. I wanted them to get away with it. Also look out for appearances by some other probably unknown actors at the time. Michael Robbins and Stephen Lewis from On The Buses. Well worth the money. If anyone from Odeon entertainment read this, can you release another excellent film called Jigsaw with Jack Warner 1962. Pleeeeeaaase?????

This is as good a 1950's or 1960's British film as you will get.
Great in black and white. Good atmosphere and interest.
Really good buy. A must for any collection.
A true British classic.

A really well made true British film, with terrific performances and very able direction. It kept me entertained right until the closing credits. Well done Odeon for releasing this gem.
