A Prize Of Gold (1955)

Set in post war Berlin, an Air Force Master Sergeant (Richard Widmark) falls in love with a German woman (Mai Zetterling) who is the caretaker for a bunch of German war orphans. She is trying to get the children away from Germany and to Brazil where they can start life anew. He attempts to help her by conceiving a daring heist of gold bullion. Based on the novel by Max Catto (THE DEVIL AT FOUR O'CLOCK) and directed by Mark Robson (VALLEY OF THE DOLLS). A decent enough heist movie and, of course, everything doesn't go as planned. If it did, there wouldn't be much suspense. The group of thieves are all amateurs and it's easy to spot the loose cannon (Nigel Patrick) that is going to muck everything up and I couldn't help but wonder why the others couldn't see it too. As the "girl" providing some romantic interest, Mai Zetterling is wasted. With George Cole, Donald Wolfit, Andrew Ray and  Karel Stepanek.
