This early Kubrick film is a not only a wonderful caper film which jumps all over the place in terms of time (Kubrick said he was always trying to "explode the conventional narrative") but also a meditation on how even meticulously laid plans can go awry because of the simplest circumstances. Watching it again last night, I couldn't help but thinik that if it were ever remade (hope not) current morality would have the planners get away with the money.
