Plot
When Penelope gets married to banker James Elcott, she finds him too preoccupied with work to pay much attention to her, so she robs his bank in disguise. After she confesses to her psychiatrist, Greg Mannix, he offers to return the money for her, as he is secretly in love with her.
Sinekatalog’s take
A neglected wife robs her husband's bank in disguise and confesses to her psychiatrist, who loves her in secret. It is a bright, light caper comedy with a madcap premise. A pleasant diversion for fans of sixties capers who don't mind a flimsy plot.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
