Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round (1966)

My Rating

Movie Info

James Coburn stars in this comedy-melodrama as Eli Kotch, who uses his charm to obtain a parole from prison by having an affair with a female psychologist. Eli's plan upon getting out of jail is to rob a bank at the L.A. International Airport. The date of the bank robbery coincides with the arrival of the Russian premier, so that bank security will be minimal with the premier attracting most of the airport security forces. Harrison Ford appears in his film debut in the bit part of a bellhop. ~

Lags until it hits the climactic caper scene.

The sort of thing Coburn was doing in his sleep by then. Watch for Harrison Ford's first big screen appearance.
