1964 · 97 min Comedy
5.1 / 10 · TMDB

Having pulled off the smallest ever train robbery, Little Walter and his crew decide to get out of London. The six of them set up business in a disused monastery off the Cornish coast, despite the fact that none of them really qualifies as a monk - least of all Walter's moll Bikini. Bit by bit, the quiet way of life starts becoming a habit.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedy on the clash between the crooks' rough manners and the serene monastic setting, relying on this fish-out-of-water scenario for gentle, character-driven humor.

What lingers after the credits is the charm of a bygone era of British cinema, a lighthearted caper where the biggest heist is on one's own cynicism. — MovieFinder Editorial
