the primitives (1962)

"We've got one week to enact the plan..."
A team of international jewel thieves are being tracked by a Scotland Yard detective, and soon starts to look closely at a nightclub act called the primitives. Could these seemingly innocent musicians and a dancer really be behind some of the most audacious crimes in recent years?
Looking every bit like a quota quickie, this interesting film is let down by some sizable leaps of faith, such as how the hell does a guy not recognise the woman he has spent the night with, even if she does wear a wig the next time they meet. There is also a distinct lack of thrills or tension, but is nevertheless intriguing enough to hold my attention for its 65 minutes.
