aka The Coming.
"This not be the dark ages, this be 1692."

that sinking feeling (1979)

"You sure you've not got any cornflakes?"
A gang of unemployed teenagers come together under the direction of Ronnie (Robert Buchanan), who has a plan to make them all rich! They are going to rob a local warehouse of all its stainless steel sinks, but to do so will take, nerve, split second timing and some lipstick!
Forsyth brings together the kids of the Glasgow Youth Theatre, to produce an absurd, and wonderfully witty crime caper. Episodic at times, the film never looses sight of the need to make you laugh.
