...sight of Caracas' high-rise skyline hundreds of thousands of peasants live in shanty towns that lack water, roads and sewers. Agricultural policy has been a disaster; Venezuela imports much of its food from the U.S., Chile and the Caribbean. Inflation (current rate: 13%) persists, and urban street crime is on the rise. Only two weeks ago, the widow of former U.S. Ambassador to Venezuela C. Allan Stewart was beaten to death on a Caracas sidewalk...
...seven of whom slipped into the Brink's warehouse one evening wearing pea-coats and Halloween masks and made off with the loot. At the time, the Brink's gang wasn't looked on as a bunch of affable fellows who just happened to stumble onto the crime of the century.

A sometime male model, Scott had publicly proclaimed that he had once had a homosexual affair...
...Brink's Job is a crime movie that has been conceived in the antic spirit of a burlesque show. Working from Writer Noel Behn's account of the celebrated 1950 Boston heist, Friedkin and Screenwriter Walon Green have created a series of loopy blackout sketches that celebrate the lunacy of some lucky penny-ante crooks. Not all of the bits are funny, but even the flat jokes have an engagingly whimsical air. From the evocative opening shot of strippers smoking on a theater fire escape to a late Borscht Belt cameo by Sheldon Leonard as J. Edgar Hoover...
