I should have anticipated it from the title but this did seem rather gentile. I'm not quite sure what I think about it. I found it rather laborious, going through the households of all those participating and then conducting a complicated raid just to get the weapons before we even get to the big one. But then, it had a certain charm, I guess I was expecting humour, it was good to see Bryan Forbes and Richard Attenborough working away in bit parts, completely overshadowing Oliver Reed in a dreadful cameo as a camp gay guy looking for the amateur dramatics while the big boys discussed their forthcoming bank raid. It was also good to see whole stretches of London around St Paul's and the Old Bailey but there were stretches that seemed to go on rather too long and if the build up to the bank job was done at a snails pace the raid itself was rather disappointing after all the build up. Bit of nostalgia, however and incredible that this was made more than 10 years after the end of the War and yet to still be so steeped in its aftermath.
