(1957) The Big Caper
CRIME DRAMA/ THRILLER
Adapted from the novel by Lionel White, with Frank Harper (Rory Calhoun) arriving to see his friend, Flood (James Gregory) relaxing by the pool with his girlfriend, Kay (Mary Costa) attempting to convince him to join him to another heist job. Frank pleads with him because he is flat broke, and because he has no money while his friend Flood still has plenty of it. Both have the people to do it as the bank has a million dollars. At the beginning, they buy a gas station near the bank they are planning to rob, with both Kay and Frank posing as husband and wife while assembling the gang together. And of course, things are going accordingly until of course, Flood's girlfriend Kay begins to fall for Frank creating a kind of a rift.
I liked the ending of "The Big Caper" which is better than what we are accustomed in seeing during heist movies made during this era when they are either all captured or killed.
