The Hot Rock (1972)
(How to Steal a Diamond in Four Uneasy Lessons)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 101m
Director: Peter Yates
Cast: Robert Redford, George Segal, Zero Mostel, Ron Leibman, Moses Gunn
Synopsis:
An African spiritual leader employs the talents of a disparate group of friends to steal an enormous diamond vital for the happiness of his people.
Review:
Cleverly written, sprightly but dated comedy caper which twists and turns quite agreeably. It came at a time of saturation in the genre, which was to peak with The Sting the following year, and the film-making is '70s sloppy' compared to the same director's Robbery and Bullitt.
