About The Great Telephone Robbery
Meshulam, a lowly bank clerk, has two hobbies: crime novels, and the ability to calculate investment interest in his head. When he learns of a local gang's plot to rob the bank, Meshulam realizes that this is his chance to make himself the hero of his own crime story -- by stopping them, in his own unique way!
Directed by Menahem Golan, The Great Telephone Robbery leans on a strong ensemble — Gabi Amrani, Dubi Gal, Shaike Ophir — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1972.
