A strange film

This is a rather strange film as has been pointed out by the previous reviewer.It seems rather incoherent at times.My copy lasts 69minutes,Quinlan says it lasts 80 minutes and this site 84 minutes.So whether the problem is the deleted footage is a good question.As in quite a few British films of the era,an American gang come to London to pull a few jobs.They eventually decide to rob a department store called Sherwoods.As we can see from the exterior it is in fact Selfridges,all dressed up for the Silver Jubilee.The idea is to rob the store of £80000,being the boys for the staff on the stores silver Jubilee day.At the end there is a big gun battle between the gang and armed police.More a reflection of the desire of British producers to copy American gangster films than of reality.
