A phony evangelist, a saloon dancer, a bumbling band of Mexican bandidos, a Texas Ranger and his six Chinese-American G-Men converge on a mean little Western town named Friendly to stage The Great Bank Robbery. 1884. Friendly ferociously guards its seemingly impregnable bank, while the town's corrupt mayor caters to outlaws--storing their ill-gotten gains in the bank's vault. But when three separate teams simultaneously attempt a heist--by way of tunnel, subterfuge and frontal assault--a comic melee ensues.

A French jewel thief (Marlene Dietrich) speeds to Spain with pearls, which she drops in the pocket of a U.S. engineer (Gary Cooper).

Peter Ustinov won an Oscar® for Best Supporting Actor in this lighthearted thriller about five thieves (including Melina Mercouri, Maximilian Schell and Robert Morley) who undertake an "absolutely impossible" grand theft in Istanbul.
