...Charles de Gaulle traipse around the East bloc and talk about bridge building. But it was quite another thing when West German diplomats and industrialists began arriving with the sort of offers that tempted Eastern bloc countries to look suddenly Westward. Rumania asserted its inde pendence from Moscow by trading ambassadors with Bonn; Hungary was toying with the idea of doing the same thing. Czechoslovakia accepted a West German trade mission, and it was to West Germany that Party First Secretary Alexander Dubcek looked for the loans he needed to revitalize his country's economy and free it from...

For his part, dedicated, aloof President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz grimly vowed "to do whatever is our duty, however far we are obliged to go," to protect his country's good name and, presumably, the Olympics tourist trade.

Caper flicks, as the trade calls them invariably involve some lovable folk; who pull off an enormous and improbable heist, only to be foiled in the last reel by a freakish turn of fate. Disaster can come in many forms: a runaway poodle (The Killing), a cremated coffin (Ocean's 11), or a kid with a photographic memory (The League of Gentlemen). At their best, caper movies can be wry little existential parables; at their worst, they are merely two hours of closeups on nervous thieves and unyielding safe dials...
