It's a sort of carry-on-criminal, this one - with a reliable cast of British actors - Sid James, Sylvia & Joan Sims and Lance Percival amongst the stalwarts who recount this rather daft story of a bank robbery that goes a bit wrong! They get caught, sent down for fifteen years and when they escape, all set for a life on the Riviera - they discover the tree trunk in which Sid deposited the loot is now part of a police station. It's a jolly effort that sees them come up with all sorts of wheezes to try and recover their loot from under the unintentionally watchful eyes of "Sgt." Derek Guyler that raises a titter now and again. Maybe a bit on the long side; the joke wears thin after about an hour, and the humour hasn't really lasted that well - but it's still a good ensemble performance.
