    I quite liked the premise of this heist caper, as the down-at-heel Harper (Rory Calhoun) comes up with the idea of robbing a small bank that just happens to house the wages of a nearby military base. He cant do it on his own, though, so taps up the ruthless Flood (James Gregory) for resources. Theres $1 million at stake here so he and his new investors gal Kay (Mary Costa) move into the town and pretend to be the married owners of the petrol station. Its a friendly enough town, loads of chatty neighbours and family BBQs so the question is: will their sinister motives be spotted in a town where butter wouldnt melt? Unfortunately, this doesnt really come alive until the end, and then only just. For the main part, its more of a character study...
