Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The story never quite adds up, but with help from Ustinov and Robert Morley, Dassin conjures up a superior light entertainment.

fresh:
Ustinov has probably the meatiest part in the film and one that allows him to use many of the unsubtleties in dominating scenes he has at his command.

fresh:
If you like heists and holidays, it's almost foolproof entertainment.

rotten:
It's a far cry from his classic American thrillers or his brilliant British noir, Night and the City.
