"That's my money you're hanging on to, and I want it blast it."
Four men come to a cross roads in life for various reasons. One, Miles Ravenscourt (Laurence Harvey), a playboy whose source of money has cut him off, comes up with a scheme to rob a bank. To do so he corrupts the other three. Mike Morgan (Stanley Baker) is an ex-boxer trying to get used to life out of the ring, and minus a hand. Joe Halsey (Richard Basehart) is an American struggling to take his wife (Joan Collins) away from a domineering mother. Finally we have Eddie Blaine (John Ireland) an American air force sergeant on furlow, whose actress wife (Gloria Grahame) prefers to go out with her co-star, than her husband.
A strong cast and more than a touch of the kitchen-sink makes this a fascinating drama as it slowly works through to its inevitable end.
