By far the best aspect of this movie is the presence of Paul Newman in a mature age of 75 still performing very well. He plays an elderly bank robber who fakes a serious stroke to stay out of the slammer until a determined nurse uncovers his disguise. After that, she decides she wants more excitement in life so she plans a bank robbery that they can all perform together. Enjoyable light-heated caper comedy, but the story is not as well written as it ought to be.
