Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Gordon Hessler was better known for horror films like The Oblong Box and Scream and Scream Again — heist movies were not his specialty, and it shows.
This is pure Euro-crime exploitation cinema from the 1970s, when international co-productions meant shooting cheap in Spain with fading American TV stars to grab distribution deals.
