Robbery is a 1967 British crime film directed by Peter Yates who went on to direct Bullet.
Amongest the cast are several familar faces of UK screen crime we could spot a mile off: Stanley Baker, George Sewell, Barry Foster, and William Marlowe; as well as Joanna Pettet and James Booth who we couldn't pull out of a police line-up if our lives depended on it!
Writers: Edward Boyd, Peter Yates, and George Markstein.
The story is a heavily fictionalised version of the 1963 Great Train Robbery.
The film was shot entirely on location at places such as Marble Arch, Trafalgar Square, Little Venice, Kensal Green, New York Harbour, and Arbour Hill Prison in Dublin.
Robbery is said to have been influential in the genre of British film and TV police/crime thrillers through the 1970s, such as The Sweeney and The Long Good Friday.
