Charles Grodin adapted Gerald Brown's novel, then starred as hapless diamond dealer enmeshed in plot of Trevor Howard to steal from John Gielgud; James Mason is his sensitive accomplice, along with furious driver girlfriend Candice Bergen.
Actual heist and car chase are efficient enough, though considering the talent at work - former editor Avakian with Anne Coates - it seems slightly lacking stylistically.
Lots of familiar faces; always like films of this period.
Shot by Arthur Ibbetson in Panavision.
