Review of The League of Gentlemen (1960) by Chris B — 09 Mar 2012

What a great and fun and also very stylish heist film that is filled with great performances, adventure and dashes of comedy. The film is about a former Colonel named Hyde (Jack Hawkins) who recruits seven other former army officers whom are all the best in their respected fields of operations.

He has been formulating a plan on robbing a bank and each man who joins him will receive 100,000 pounds for their services. Every detail is methodically thought out and planned for, or is it? The film is a fun and entertaining watch and while all the remakes of it are quite dreadful, the original here is a blast to watch!
