Movie Reviews of The Great St. Louis Bank Robbery
Movie Review: First great McQueen role
Summary: 4 Stars
While it's true that Steve McQueen's first movie lead role was in the not-very-scary fright film, THE BLOB (1958), it was in his very next picture that Steve proved he was star material.
In THE GREAT ST. LOUIS BANK ROBBERY (1959), McQueen hires out as "wheel man" to a small gang. In this true story, the bank heist quickly devolves into a hostage situation that ends disastrously. Shot on the actual location using non-actors who were both victims of and respondents to the crime, this picture has a realism that makes it worth seeing.
Also recommended:
Steve McQueen took his TV western experience with him when he appeared in the John Sturges classic, THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (1960). He co-stars here with Yul Brynner, Eli Wallach, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn and James Coburn.

Summary of The Great St. Louis Bank Robbery
From back cover, "An ex-football hero takes a wrong turn and ends up with a gang of thieves planning to knock over a bank. Shot at the actual location of the robbery and with the appearance of the St. Louis police offiers that handled the case, this hard-edged intense drama will hold your attention to the last scene."Similar DVD Movies
