Atraco a las tres (Robbery at 3 o'clock) is a 1962 Spanish comedy film directed by José María Forqué. Critic Diego Galán of El País described it as a magnificent farce and one of the best Spanish comedies. It is inspired by Mario Monicelli's masterpiece Big Deal on Madonna Street.[1]

Plot

[edit]

Fernando Galindo, a bank clerk, persuades his colleagues to rob the bank where they work in revenge for manager's dismissal and poor employment conditions. They decide to fake a robbery similar to those featured in films. Despite their careful preparation, the plan fails because a band of real robbers burst into the bank the same day they had planned to carry out their raid.
