CBS LATE MOVIE: Seven Golden Men (1966)

EDITOR’S NOTE: Seven Golden Men was on the CBS Late Movie on June 19 and December 18, 1974 and July 23, 1975.

7 uomini d’oro was directed and co-written — with Mariano Ozores — by Marco Vicario. Albert the professor (Philippe Leroy) has six men as part of his gang — Adolf (Gastone Moschin), August (Giampiero Albertini), Aldo (Gabriele Tinti), Anthony (Dario De Grassi), Alfonso (Manuel Zarzo) and Alfred (Maurice Poli) — who are all from different counties and each have different skills. He has another secret weapon, his lover Giorgia (Rossana Podestà, who was married to Vicario and was Hera in the Cannon version of Hercules). They team up to rob the Swiss National Bank. Of course, the job goes to plan, but later, the six men are detained for their passports and Giorgia turns on her man, starting an affair with the bank manager in an attempt to make all the spoils for herself.

As for the gold they stole, well, it ends up as part of a truck crash. Everyone has to get over all of the double crosses, because now, it’s time to rob the Bank of Italy. That would be Il grande colpo dei uomini d’oro.

Speaking of crime, it was illegal to film in front of that Swiss bank. So they did it, no permits, and got it before everyone got busted.
