As scheming career cat burglar Harry Dean (Michael Caine) prepares to steal a priceless statue from the world's richest man, he seeks out the assistance of Eurasian showgirl Nicole Chang (Shirley MacLaine). Though the likable rogue's plan seems foolproof as he conveys the details to his partner, Ram (Roger C. Carmel), the execution proves to be a detailed study in Murphy's Law. Constantly reinventing the plan as his originally ideal scheme spirals ever more out of control, it seems as if Harry's heist is destined to fail. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
Uma sacada genial no primeiro ato que eleva todo o restante do filme por contraste, além de trazer o trio principal afiadíssimo.
Steve Crum, Video-Reviewmaster.com
Fun, albeit dated, caper movie with well matched MacLaine and Caine.
Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
Shirley MacLaine is miscast, but Michael Caine in a banner year that also saw him play the Oscar-nominated Alfie, gives a shrewd and suave performance in Roland Neame's heist picture.
