Perfect Friday (1970, TV)

Synopsis: This sprightly crime caper — a sort of Lavender Hill Mob with sex appeal — is hardly the kind of material normally associated with its director, Peter Hall. Stanley Baker stars as the timid banker who teams up with aristocratic wastrel David Warner and his bored wife Ursula Andress for a meticulously planned raid on his own bank.

The raid never completely enthrals us, which is as much down to the script as Hall's discomfort with the genre, for, while the scam is smoothly staged, the moments of suspense seem contrived and the finale smacks slightly of desperation.

Cast: Ursula Andressn Stanley Baker
