That Sinking Feeling
(1979)

Robert Buchanan



Alan Love, William Greenlees, Douglas Sannachan


Summary:

A band of young out-of-work Glaswegians plan a heist of a shipment of sinks.

Forsyth's perspective:

"The scene where the three boys talk about suicide has a couple of jokes, but the actual situation behind all the fun is that when we were making the film there was a case of two guys killing themselves, and there's been another case of that more recently."

-- Sight and Sound, Summer 1983
