Featured review
A Bank Heist in Pamplona
This film takes place in Spain with a retired bank robber by the name of "Peter Churchman" (Stephen Boyd) being visited by two former colleagues named "Francois Morel" (Vito Scotti) and "Angela Tresler" (Giovanna Ralli). Although he is not particularly interested in anything they have to say, they eventually get down to business by informing him that some evidence of his previous crimes has been documented and, unless he helps them rob a bank in Pamplona, will be turned over to the local authorities. Not wanting to become involved in such an exceedingly difficult enterprise, his first thought is to leave that area and hide until the statute of limitations expires. He changes his mind, however, when he learns that several friends have also been implicated, he reluctantly agrees to Angela's demands. The problem, however, is heavily guarded and everything must go exactly as planned if they are to succeed. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was an entertaining film which had a light-hearted touch typically found in many films during this time. I especially liked the performance of Stephen Boyd who played in his usually solid manner. Likewise, having two attractive actresses like Giovanna Ralli and Yvette Mimieux (as Peter's girlfriend "Grace Harvey") certainly didn't hurt either. Be that as it may, while certainly not a great action film necessarily, it passed the time well enough, and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
