Steve mcQueen4
In this 1958 movie Steve McQueen shows us what made him a Hollywood star. The film is based on actual events in St. Louis with many of the police officers playing roles in the film.


What I liked about this film despite it being a old film and in black and white its that its good heist film.It is impressive to observe how they prepare the bank heist - tming the runs and checking for cops close to the bank.
Another thing is the film feels real and the plot doesn't go to extremes like some other films that we have today.
