Overview
Two untalented singers are mistaken for a pair of major league safe crackers in Providence, Rhode Island. The two are pressed into service by the local hoodlums and quickly find themselves in conflict with their professional colleagues. Romantic interest is added by the daughter of the underworld leader who won't date the men she knows are gangsters.
This may have been messiest film that I have ever seen. First and foremost, there are numerous future big-time actors in this movie, and they are all excellent. In particular, Rockwell and Zahn are fantastic. And some of the scenes were really, really good. But a lot of the scenes weren’t, and towards the end I found myself looking at my watch. I think that there was a great movie in there somewhere…. this just wasn’t it.
