The story is great, the moment where the trio of robbers discover a housing estate built on the site of their I'll gotten gains is brilliant, so funny.
It is very well made, well shot, with a terrific script. The usual suspects are great Sid James, Joan Sima etc, but Dick Emery is a joy, and Sylvia Sims is a delight, such a beautiful woman.
Loved it. 8/10
This is what REAL comedy is all about and I'm eternally grateful to messrs Thomas,Rothwell and Rogers for providing us with moments like these we can cherish forever.
It's a quintessential farce, but it's absolutely hilarious, and so well done. A team of bank robbers hide the loot before they are caught and do their time. Lo and behold, when they get out, they find a police station built around the hiding place.
Even the denouement fails to be an anticlimax.
It's a rare opportunity to see some of the comedic leads play their role dead pan, which only heightens the comedy. It also includes Sylvia Sims, a normally serious actor, hilariously excelling herself.
It would be a leading candidate for the perfect comedy film. Don't miss it!

- AnecdotesBy 1965, black and white filmmaking was very much on the decline in the UK. This was one of the last feature films made at Pinewood Studios in black & white.
- GaffesIn a scene where the robbers are climbing into the police station back yard, the ladder they are using does not reach the top of the wall. However, when they drop down on the other side, the top of the ladder is at least 2 feet above the wall. Similarly when George first spies the ladder against the girl's window, it reaches above the window ledge, but when the young man climbs it when the couple are eloping, it does not reach to the window.
