“He is a murderer!”
“But he’s kinda cute”

OK. So. Seven Thieves. (SPOILERS for a noir from 1960 ahead!)
Rod Steiger has been brought to France by Edward G Robinson to be a part of a Casino Heist.
Eli showing off his ankles in those sandals is sending me. Also, the fact that he’s sort of mean-mugging at Rod Steiger is fitting, if you know about Duck, You Sucker, but that won’t be for another 7 or so years…
So Rod is in charge of things. They agree. EGR brought him in and they all look to EGR…
Ok if he looked at me like this, I’d let him keep on his sandals:
He has to play a German baron as part of the heist. He’s in a wheelchair, hamming it up with a decent accent. They do a rehearsal night but…
He has to take a cyanide pill that will make him LOOK dead for an hour or so. And he’s freaked out.
Well…
He freaks out…
So EGR injects him instead…
And they strap him into the wheelchair until he comes to. They hide the money under him also 😆
Movie has a decent ending, but I was mostly watching for Eli (whose characters name is Pancho! 😜)
He’s so tiny that they pick him up and move him around easily, conscious or not.
Worth the 3.99 rental on Amazon. No oceans 11, but that doesn’t have Eli Wallach in sandals…
