I saw it as a kid and I still like the premise. Even though there are no good guys to root for I still dig this flick. Connery is great as is Martin Balsam. And look for a young Christopher Walken (The Kid) as the driver.

Yep, and the door man's un-PC and insulting description of Balsam's character as "chunky..........fag" is hilarious!
shareMy date that day though it was a Bond film.
I used to work for the company (Irving Trust Co.)where the bank part was shot the scene was a photo in our company magazine.

Thanks for sharing that. I recall the Irving Trust. Who else remembers Banco De Popular or The Bowery (da bowery) and their incessant TV commercials? "The Bowery, the Bowery, the Bowery saves you lots...." LOL
shareI concur. This film was a lot of fun. Sean Connery was typically excellent in the lead, Dyan Cannon was smoking hot as his classy call girl mistress, and Martin Balsam was a complete camp hoot as merry gay antique dealer Haskins. Plus it was cool to see a very young Christopher Walken in a sizable supporting role as the Kid. And the big heist itself was extremely tense, gripping and exciting, with a spot-on bitterly ironic pay-off for Connery and his crew.
