Daylight Robbery (1964 film)

Daylight Robbery is a 1964 British film directed by Michael Truman and starring Janet Munro, Gordon Jackson and Zena Walker.

As a prank, and to shock Trudy, Kirk steals a battery, although he intends to return it later.

The three children get locked in the store and in their attempt to escape end up at the building site next door, where they are spotted by a man, part of a bank robbery gang, and imprisoned by him.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "After a leisurely opening, action takes over with excitement atop an uncompleted building, pursuits in a lift up and down ladders, and dizzy heights to add to the tension.

The children versus bank robbers theme, and the thrills contained in the best moments, may entertain the audiences for whom it is intended, but as a whole it does not impress as being among the best of the Foundation's enterprises i"[3] TV Guide called it an "Okay children's film with a surprisingly talented adult cast.
