O G Home.

SEVEN THIEVES.
Edward G Robinson & Rod Steiger,
Joan Collins, Eli Wallach, Michael Dante.
Dir: Henry Hathaway, 1960, TCF.

SYNOPSIS:
Never seen this one but apparently it's crap due to a completely unfunny performance by Steiger. Which is a shame.

"Rod Steiger had first billing as one of Robinson's cohorts. Robinson's character (a gangster trying to make one last score by robbing a Monte Carlo casino) suffers a fatal heart attack and Steiger goes straight. It was only mediocre fare, but Robinson didn't worry about it any longer. It was not his name and reputation that were at risk. He was no longer a headliner."
- Alan Gansberg, E G Robinson biographer.

"Christ. It was supposed to be a fun film, and Steiger is far, far from having a sense of humour."
- Henry Hathaway.

REVIEWS:
"Routine caper story, efficiently presented with some humour."
- Leslie Halliwell.
