A rail thin, sweaty Jack Elam and a ferret eyed Lee Van Cliff. I wish the masks used in the heist were in the film more, but that would have gone against the plot. The blu ray looks amazing. You can really feel the heat and desperation. Also watched Kona Coast (1968) with Richard Boone. It has that Ocean's Eleven feel of let's make a movie to write off our vacation. Also reminds me of the Big Lebowski in that the plot only exists to display the characters. It does have the noir hints of rain soaked streets and heavy dialog, just with Richard Boone in short shorts.
