    I don't know why, but every time I think of this film, I'm reminded of "Fish Called Wanda, A". John Cleese, and Stanley Baker seem to be almost impersonating each other. They both play stuffy, uptight people, who end up becoming mixed up in some sort of convoluted plot involving grand larceny, etc. (after being introduced to some glamorous female). And there's the third party - in "Fish Called ...", it's the incredibly stupid American (Kevin Kline), however in this film, it seems to be the equally daft Earl of Dorset (David Warner). Both films end up with a sort of race to Heathrow Airport, but the similarities in plot-lines end about 5 minutes before the closing titles. I did like the way the robbery was handled (very cute) - particularly the 'phone conversation between Mr Graham's immediate superior and the parts played by both David Warner and Ursula Andress in the adjacent office. Some nice shots also of seventies London, and great comments by the Earl of Dorset on British Rail (as it was then known).


    Movie Quotes: Lord Nicholas "Nick" Dorset: Are you Graham?
    Mr. Graham: Yes.
    Lord Nicholas "Nick" Dorset: What do you want?
    Mr. Graham: I'd like to escape, I imagine we both would.
    Lord Nicholas "Nick" Dorset: I'm perfectly fine.
    Mr. Graham: You have no money.
    Lord Nicholas "Nick" Dorset: Have you?
    Mr. Graham: I intend getting some.
