The Professionals [1960] [DVD]

Quite an efficient little thriller. Producer Norman Priggen was later associated with Joseph Losey ("The Servant", "King and Country", "Modesty Blaise", "Accident"), and it's of more than passing interest to view one of his earlier productions. True, this same, safe-breaking formula has been used in many other movies, but the smooth direction and quietly assured acting lend it a freshness and suspense that will keep most audiences reasonably entertained for the first half of the cinema program. As might be expected, production values are modest, but they are skilfully deployed. ~ imdb
