Short description

Harry Dean is a career burglar set on stealing a piece of priceless art from the world's wealthiest man, Mr. Shahbandar. With the help of exotic showgirl Nicole Chang, he concocts the perfect scheme for how the robbery should go and lays it out point by point. However, when the team tries to execute the plan, perfection and reality don't quite match up, and Harry's vision begins to unravel in this twisty tale of a heist gone wrong.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Brian Forbes (1926–2013) wrote the screenplay back in 1960 specifically for Cary Grant (1904–1986). Over time, however, Grant left the project, and the project itself underwent significant changes. It was decided, in particular, to make the protagonist a woman, and Shirley MacLaine was cast in the role. It was she who suggested casting Michael Caine as the male lead after seeing him in the detective film 'The Ipcress File' (1965), and Caine's addition to the cast required even further changes to the script.
