The '60s saw a number of spaghetti westerns, spy movies, and heist movies. Antonio Isasi-Isasmendi's "Las Vegas, 500 millones" ("They Came to Rob Las Vegas" in English) is one of the latter. It's a routine story of some guys trying to steal a bunch of money from an armored car. What's significant is the music that's characteristic of the era, and occasional lines that would've only gotten used in the '60s. And of course, there's Elke Sommer. It's a safe bet that the sight of her turned millions of boys into men back in the day. As far as I'm concerned, she's the main reason to watch the movie. Lest you think that I'm exaggerating, there's a scene where we get to see quite a bit of her.*
The rest of the cast includes Gary Lockwood (Frank Poole in "2001: A Space Odyssey"), Lee J. Cobb (the police detective in "The Exorcist") and Jack Palance. Part of the movie got filmed in Almería, Spain, also the filming location of some spaghetti westerns, and the tank chase in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade".
*If you must know, I watched both "Dr. No" and "A Shot in the Dark" in 1995. I shouldn't have to tell you what it's like for an eleven-year-old boy to feast his eyes on both Ursula Andress and Elke Sommer.
