A sympathetic group of unlucky bank workers carry out a heist with unexpected consequences . This is an amusing and funny comedy with several fun and hilarious set pieces , social critique on economical crisis , lots of laughters and many other things .

This agreeable picture concerns a hold-up pulled off by a bunch of unfortunate as well as bungling people but things go awry . There are some nice jokes in the film and the cast , playing eccentric characters , make a cosy fit . It takes a simple concept , a peculiar robbing , being schemed , planned and proceeded by botcher people and in similar style to Italian classy ¨Rufufu¨ (1956) , a great Comedia all'Italiana by Mario Monicelli ; this latter was a brilliant parody to French production titled ¨Rififi¨(1956) by Jules Dassin . ¨Atraco a Las Tres¨ is a comical and sometimes disconcerting account of a bunch of middle-lower class people from the personal , social , cultural , and economic perspective , because needing all of them , urgently, amount of money to resolve their problematic lives . This film packs attractive images , strange situations , swift frames , twists and turns ; but it especially contains catching touches of humor and irony . Interesting as well as funny screenplay by prolific writers Vicente Coello and Pedro Maso who said in an interview that he wrote the script in 9 nights ; being mostly set into a bank office and adapted to Spanish characteristics by that time . The flick interweaves fun comedy along with a social criticism about the Spanish crisis of the sixties and a little bit of suspense and great amusement . This film is made to entertain , and this movie , especially for a good time and a pleasant entertainment . And it results in a highly original yarn , with a fine message , which is very-well delivered . The flick contains silly incidents , fun plot twists , tongue-in-cheek , grotesque situations and above all , humor . Sitting in a strange middle ground between the completely absurd and the stylishly cool . This film moves in fits and starts most of which would be desirable and some moments of enjoyment and others quite a few ridiculous . The characters are quite odd , grotesque and geek and the film races on at incredible speed . Filmmaker Forque delivers an enjoyable comedy in which the main and support cast are frankly outstanding . The main attraction resides in its excellent cast in which stand out Jose Luis Lopez Vazquez as unforgettable Galindo , veteran Jose Orjas , sympathetic Cassen , moaner Gracita Morales , film debut of Alfredo Landa , among others .

A very good film, you´ll have to see it. All the cast is perfect. The actors are the best comedians of the history. I love Jose Luis Lopez Vazquez.

This caper comedy follows a bumbling group of bank workers who hatch an elaborate scheme to steal a fortune from the vault. Great comic performances and a fantastic jazz score propel a somewhat predictable get-rich-quick plot, typical of the era.

The film is considered a gem of 1960s Spanish film comedy. Its status as a classic derives from the wonderful and iconic early-1960s cast, good directing, and -- for viewers today -- nostalgia for a simpler, more naive era of entertainment. The movie is great fun, though perhaps the last 20 minutes could have been tightened a bit.

"Stickup at 3 O'Clock" reached a new generation of viewers in Spain circa 2002- 2003 via a well-promoted DVD release (distributed initially as part of a film- classics series issued by a major daily newspaper). Additional interest was generated later through a 2003 remake, "Stickup at 3:30."

The black and white Spain, the old subway, the 50s-60s in Madrid is the world of "Atraco a las tres" (Rubbery at 3 o'clock). Galindo (Lopez-Vazquez) has a lot of rich life dreams. The old, tender bank director is going out, coming a new burocratic and repressive director Galindo and the other bank guys hate. Now is born the idea of rubbery... It's an open door, a door towards blonde and tall young women, Mercedes cars and Coast houses. The dreams of so time ago, Galindo's dreams... But the real world in black and white is stronger.
