They Came To Rob Las Vegas (1968)

In order to avenge his brother (Jean Servais) who was killed attempting to rob an impenetrable security transport, a young man (Gary Lockwood) devises a complicated scheme that will prove that the trucks are indeed penetrable. Based on the novel LES HOMMES DES LAS VEGAS by Andre Lay and directed by Antonio Isasi Isasmendi. Although some exteriors were shot in California and Nevada where the film is set, most of the film was shot in Spain. The cast is comprised of American, French, Italian and Spanish actors which makes the film feel more European than American especially since so many of the roles are post dubbed into English. The movie often has that hollow post dubbed sound where the actors' voices seem to be coming from somewhere else. A heist film like this should be tight but at a running time of two hours and nine minutes, there's a lot of flab to be trimmed. The overly complicated plot is often confusing and the generic Lockwood can't hold our attention, much less our interest. With Elke Sommer, Jack Palance, Lee J. Cobb and Fabrizio Capucci.
