A cat burglar, along with a curious married couple, attempts to steal diamonds from a millionaire’s château. Very continental while also very British-looking, Deadfall is notable for featuring John Barry on screen, conducting his ‘Romance for Guitar and Orchestra’ in its 15-minute entirety, while Michael Caine stages a jewel robbery in split screen.
