Rooting for them to fail. That's not a motive to watch a movie.

Training dobermans that rob banks. Now that's an entertaining plot line for a movie, especially featuring a cast of people you've never even heard of and a song sung by Mercedes Hall bed supposed to bring romance into it as if it was Helen Reddy singing. This movie is just repulsive in every way, an unnecessarily violent film that somehow was successful enough to prompt two sequels, one of which co-starred Fred Astaire. The only actor in this film worth mentioning is Julie Parrish, only because I know her from the daytime soap opera "Capitol".

She's initially an unwilling participant in this game, only really joining in when one of the gang members slaps her at dinner because he insulted her and she responded by throwing food in his days. It's a very unpleasant film in pretty much every aspect, and probably the worst animal film I've ever seen, especially about one of the least friendly breeds of a species known as man's best friend. It takes forever for the the film to get off the ground, showing how they trained these animals (apparently purchase through the Air Force!) and then showing the dobermans baring their fangs at bank clerks and customers. This is one film from the 70's that has no sense of nostalgia, just a great disgust for the distasteful plot.
