Rolling up his sleeves once more after his critically-acclaimed independent production 'Faces' had done predictably only modest business in cinemas, John Cassavetes went back to work with this flashily downbeat Italian heist thriller in the vein of 'The Asphalt Jungle' enlivened by Las Vegas location work (with the usual dodgy dubbing and big wobbly close-ups of an Italian film of the era) and by the presence of his future 'Husbands' co-star Peter Falk and by a late guest appearance by Mrs Cassavetes. (Curiously enough Cassavetes don't actually share any scenes with Falk, whose role is effectively a sub-plot.)
A young Britt Ekland falls into bed with Cassavetes and then in with his criminal scheme surprisingly quickly and enthusiastically.
