4.0 out of 5 stars The Great St. Louis Bank Robbery, September 12, 2009
By Annie Van Auken (Planet Earth) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
First a word about 'gray market' DVDs--
Often, transfers are not of the highest quality. The movies themselves are unrestored and rarely pristine (but still watchable), extras are non-existent and inclusion of artwork or liner notes varies by manufacturer.


THE GREAT ST. LOUIS BANK ROBBERY is easily one of my favorite public domain films. It's a noirish 'B' unit semi-documentary headlined by an up-and-comer who already had star power.

Young Steve McQueen is featured in this taut little true story of a heist gone terribly wrong. Shot on-location where these events actually unfolded, a mostly unknown cast includes non-actors: bank personnel, citizens and law enforcement responders who were involved on the day this hold-up occurred. The first hour of the story includes (sometimes unnecessary) character development, the balance is the actual crime.

McQueen portrays an expelled college athlete who throws in as wheel man for three ex-cons planning a bank caper. Events however propel him inside Southwest Bank, as what should've been a fairly simple robbery becomes a frightening siege. Recommended for all classic era crime movie fans.

Parenthetical number preceding title is a 1 to 10 imdb viewer poll rating.

(5.8) The Great St. Louis Bank Robbery (1959) - Steve McQueen/Crahan Denton/David Clarke/James Dukas/Mary McCarthy/Martha Gable/Larry Gerst
