The Split (1968)

A woman (Julie Harris, looking the most glam she's ever looked) finances a big heist at a football stadium where $500,000 in ticket sales are expected. The accomplices consist of five men (Jim Brown, Donald Sutherland, Ernest Borgnine, Warren Oates, Jack Klugman) each of whom have their particular specialty. But of course, everything doesn't go according to plan. Based on the novel THE SEVENTH by Donald E. Westlake (under the pseudonym Richard Stark) and directed by Gordon Flemyng (DR. WHO AND THE DALEKS). Despite a splendid cast, this is a fairly routine heist movie with no surprises. There's one unpleasant scene with James Whitmore as a wacked out landlord attempting to rape Diahann Carroll which comes out of nowhere and throws the movie off kilter and it never recovers. The score by Quincy Jones screams out the 1960s! The film is notable as the first movie to get the R rating. With Gene Hackman (who doesn't come in until the film's last 25 minutes), Joyce Jameson and Jackie Joseph.
