Jerry Cotton: Death and Diamonds
Seen it?1968 | 91 min | Crime
Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for fans of a good con and people who like their stories with a little danger. The fun is in the planning, the double-crosses and the moment it all goes sideways. If you loved The Asphalt Jungle or Inside Man, start here. Set against the energy of New York.
- The mood
- Gritty.
- The pace
- Never drags, at 1 hr 31 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1968: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
Sixth part of Jerry Cotton movies. Agent Jerry Cotton infiltrates a big crime syndicate that is planning a major diamond heist.
