Brilliant ending... (Spoilers)
The details of the 'perfect robbery' in Kubrick's riveting film are fascinating, the hopping in time and place from one player to another quite audacious for the time. Discounting the earlier Killer's Kiss, which comes to life only in its final moments, Kubrick hit the ground running with this splendid film. The ending, in which everything falls apart due to simple negligence (lesson: always ensure you properly fasten your suitcase!) is a stunner.
