Notice the Eggman?
Very comtemporary. "I am the Walrus" was released by The Beatles in Nov.67, during filming of TCA. Good call (probably a Haskell Wexler one) to have the truck door get stopped by boxes at just the right level for the word "Eggman" to be clearly in sight.
Simply and clever. I miss that sort of nuance these days.

assuming this is a deliberate reference, what is the connection? why reference that beatles song in the middle of this otherwise (apparently) unrelated heist film? I think you might get more of a response if you explained what exactly you think the intent of the allusion is. personally, i saw no connection, so assumed it was simply a man selling eggs.
there's no place you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
Apparently, you're not alone... judging by the lack of responses. Seems obvious enough to me, simply because the film tries so hard to be of it's time and knowing of it's original audience's love of LSD (and knowing of Wexler's love of The Beatles). It's no heist film. It's an exercise in 60's style... according to it's director.
I guess you had to be there.

I assumed it was intentional. The lingering shots were too blatant not to have been deliberate for a particular reason.
