Bill Ruback flashed the word to his office to call Mrs. Myers and tell her the spruce was in place. She cried again when the phone call came. Out her front window she could see the empty spot covered with fresh sod. "It looks," she said later, "like a new patch on an old pair of trousers...

At the end the robbers are led, one by one, past cheering crowds outside the courtroom. It's staged curtain call for the men who gave us the Brink's legend, but the movie doesn't do that legend justice. Like the thieves, Friedkin comes very close to pulling The Brink's Job off, but he bungles the timing...
