SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Like Lumet’s caper, it treats professional crime as a worn-down working world, with Boston locations, procedural detail, and mounting pressure around a veteran criminal caught between competing loyalties.
02
Why this pick
This clever New York burglary film shares the pleasure of watching a specialist crew plan around practical obstacles, but gives the elaborate criminal mechanics a lighter, more playful rhythm.
03
Why this pick
For the same early-1970s, unsentimental crime mood: Gene Hackman’s enforcer moves through a vividly grubby underworld where danger feels abrupt and businesslike.
04
Why this pick
A lean, hard-edged revenge picture built around a taciturn ex-con and methodical criminal operations, with the same unfussy period realism and distrustful underworld alliances.
05
Why this pick
Its cat-and-mouse bank robbery premise offers the same satisfaction in criminal planning and escalating complications, framed in a chilly, watchful city atmosphere.

01 / THE STORY
Burglar John "Duke" Anderson (Sean Connery) is released after ten years in prison. He renews his relationship with his old girlfriend, Ingrid (Dyan Cannon). She lives in a high-class apartment block (Convent of the Sacred Heart (New York City)) in New York City and Anderson, almost instantly, decides to burgle the entire building in a single sweep – filling a furniture van with the proceeds. He gains financing from a nostalgic Mafia boss and gathers his four-man crew. Also included is an old ex-con drunk, "Pop" (Stan Gottlieb), whom Anderson met in jail, and who is to play concierge while the real one is bound and gagged in the cellar.
