5 contra la banca (1955)
Unos estudiantes van a Reno para pasar unas horas en la capital del juego. Uno de ellos, Ronnie, hijo de una acaudalada familia, urde por diversión un plan para robar un millón de dólares en un casino. Brick, un excombatiente de la Guerra de Corea que sufre un trastorno psicológico, se aferra a la idea de que el atraco tiene visos de prosperar... Phil Karlson realiza la típica película de robos con un planteamiento muy clásico. Kim Novak es la novia de uno de los ladrones, lo que da pie a una de las frases más memorables del film, una descripción del matrimonio como "un partido de tenis, jugado con cañones de 40 milímetros".
