(1967) Dana Andrews, Jeanne Valérie, Salvo Randone, John Elliot. A master criminal in a wheelchair summons a number of other hustlers together for illicit purposes. His ace in the hole is that he holds a blackmail card over all of them. The plan is to pull off an elaborate caper and knock over a high-roller jewelry store, which houses one of the world’s most valuable sets of ancient jewels. There are many twists and turns in this sophisticated Euro-Crime thriller. Valérie is drop dead gorgeous; Randone is thoroughly detestable, slimy, and repulsive as the wheelchair bound blackmailer. Beautiful color, from 16mm.
