The time may be inconvenient so set those recorders. This great underated 1968 movie is about a half million dollar robbery of the Los Angeles Coliseum during a football game and includes footage of a couple of games there that year. It stars Jim Brown as McClain. He was considered by many as the greatest NFL RB ever (including myself) and was a good actor and does a great job in this role. It is a great suspenful move and the supporting cast includes several Who's Who of the 50s, 60s and 70s.
Diahann Carroll plays Brown's girlfriend.
Ernest Borghine plays Bert Clinger, Julie Harris is Gladys, Gene Hackman winner of two oscars plays the crooked detective, Jack Klugman (later on tv's The Odd Couple) plays Harry Kifka, Warren Oats is Marty Gough, James Whiemore as the psychotic landlord, and Donald Sutherland as Dave Negli.
A good movie worth seeing if you haven't seen it. Enjoy.
