Limited edition Import Blu-ray/Region Free pressing. Includes many bonus features. Crime thriller directed by Sidney Lumet and starring Sean Connery and Dyan Cannon. Ex-con Duke Anderson (Connery), backed by an underground mobster, assembles a skilled criminal gang with the intention of burgling every apartment in the block where his girlfriend (Cannon) lives. However, as they rob each flat of cash and jewellery - disguised as removal men - they are unaware that a young, crippled boy has cottoned on to their caper and informed the police on his ham radio. Lumet's dazzling hi-tech caper boasts a fine turn from post-Bond Connery as criminal mastermind planning a heist to rob an entire apartment block of wealthy New Yorkers. Thrilling and edgy, it's also notable for a superb Quincy Jones score, and an early film appearance by Christopher Walken.
