The St. Louis Bank Robbery (1959)

An American crime film directed by Charles Guggenheim and John Stix, starring Steve McQueen.
A young man falls in with some gangsters who are about to commit a bank robbery. He has planned to be the getaway driver and the robbery is to take place in his hometown, which is also the hometown of one of the other gangsters. The fellow rogue who shares the hometown is the brother of the main character's ex girlfriend. The ex is called upon to loan the gang some money until the robbery can be executed and when she sees her brother, things start to get difficult.
The pacing was extremely slow. Painfully so. The plot and characters were easy to follow, but failed to hold my interest. The audio and video were alright for black and white, but the style was generic and generally lacking interest. I really didn't like the movie and thought it was way too boring. I rate it bad.
