Seven Thieves (1960)
8/10
The Temple of Midas
30 April 2022
In what is probably the least known but best film to emerge from her late fifties Hollywood sojourn Joan Collins makes a memorably seductive femme fatale in this atmospheric heist film made they were still made in black & white with a clever script by Sidney Boehm (who comes up with a particularly neat conclusion) which more than makes up for the frequent use of process work throughout for the exteriors.

Owing a lot to 'The Asphalt Jungle' it stars the incredible combination of Edward G. Robinson and Rod Steiger, with Eli Wallach first appearing looking very Bohemian in a beret accompanying Collins on a saxophone.
