He means to keep the money and he brings a long a pistol to enforce his argument. The others mean it as a prank to give the money back, but Keith is not a well man having spent some time in the psycho ward at the Veteran's Administration. That gives Kerwin Matthews who's the genius of the group an idea to plan the perfect crime. After a night in Reno where they overhear an arresting cop with a suspect who tried to rob Harold's club there saying how impossible it was. They're in college on the GI Bill of Rights and being a bit older than the other students there and with a shared wartime bonding, they kind of keep to themselves. The four veterans are Guy Madison, Alvy Moore, Kerwin Matthews, and Brian Keith. It was directed by Phil Karlson and while it's a bit slow in developing when the action starts, it builds up to a good climax. This is NOT a case of miscasting but the men are supposed to be veterans going to school on the GI Bill.and during the 1940s and 50s, many older and non-traditional students existed.ĥ Against The House is a stylish noir caper film that involves four Korean War Veterans and the girl friend of one of them in a heist against a Reno casino. *The four would-be robbers are clearly all in their 30s yet are in college.
#Dvdremaster 5 plus
The only plus was a young and gorgeous Kim Novak.who is simply amazing to watch. The ending is unrealistic and unsatisfying, the characters a bit annoying and glib and the story takes forever to actually get going. Then, for so much of the movie, they return to college (where they NEVER seem to go to classes) and nothing happens!! It's only later that one of them, Brick (Brian Keith) decides that they should return to Reno and rob the casino.
The film starts in Reno, Nevada.and four college friends* are out enjoying one of the casinos. Sadly, however, it was an exception.a film that really failed to deliver and was disappointing. So, it's not surprising I'd see "5 Against the House". Among the wonderful heist films are RIFIFI, OCEAN'S ELEVEN, GRAND SLAM and so many others.
