Default Answered: Bank Robbery film
Vague memories of an early 1980's film about a bank robbery. Think basic premise is that the Bank managers wife and attractive young daughter are held hostage at their home in order to force the manager to co-operate. Anyway remember that the young girl falls for the young villain holding her captive.......and he is ultimately shot. Think the guy married to Lysette Anthony in the BBC comedy Three Up Two Down might have played the young villain. Any ideas??

Ray Burdis is also in an episode of "THE PROFESSTIONALS" called "WEEKEND IN THE COUNTRY" which was made in 1980. He plays a gang member who holds a family hostage after a bank hold-up. He makes advances to one of the female hostages but is rebuffed. He also gets shot. Could be you have all these storys mixed up in your subconscious.

Sounds very much like it could be The Squeeze with Stacy Keach

The similarites are that it was the wife and daughter of a man who owns a security firm (played by Edward Fox) who are kidnapped. The wife (Carol White) ends up sleeping with one of the captors (David Hemmings) who is indeed shot during the heist and he falls backwards through a shop window. The film is late 70s but could quite easily be mistaken for an early 80s film.

The guy in Three Up Two Down with Michael Elphick was Ray Burdis .... he is not in The Squeeze but the actor Stewart Harwood (who looks like Ray) is. Stewart was in The Odd Job with Michael Elphick so you may have mixed them up.

This sounds much more likely to be the right one
