With a 4:3 aspect ratio this all feels like a cheaply made for TV 1970's production. With Andy Griffiths playing a sympathetic building superintendant who is seduced by young woman in a bar while his wife, played by Ida Lupino, is away at her sister's. This is just a ruse to get her boyfriend and his confederates a place to stay. Apparently they hadn't planned accommodation for the night when planning their quite elaborate bank heist! Anyway this gives opportunity to have Andy and Ida gagged and tied up. The plot gets more and more ridiculous with Ida running down the stairwell while being chased without uttering a sound let alone a scream. With a Bugs Bunny bomb on the elevator roof, Andy Griffiths is tasked with disarming the bomb by the bomb squad by pulling one of the wires. Quite unintentionally funny in the end.
