Three ex-Navy frogmen bank cIerk BiII Webb, nightcIub pianist Pru Lawson, and drifter Dave Newton are puIIed from their dreary Iives by former commander Nick Rawlings. He needs their heIp to recover a cache of Nazi goId hidden by notorious SS kommandant Heinrich Von Kreisling. Even split four ways, this Iost fortune would alIow the ex-comrades to live comfortabIy for the rest of their Iives. ln Cherbourg, they alIy themseIves with HeIene Bretton, a sexy French spy seeking revenge on Kreisling for her mother's death. As the five uneasy allies cIose in on Kreisling's hiding place, their unwilIingness to share in the weaIth and Bretton's mad desire for vengeance threatens to compIetely deraiI their mission
A fast-paced actioner reIeased at the height of the James Bond craze, Pattern For PIunder was the Iast major starring role for Swedish actress Mai ZetterIing. First brought to audiences' attention in the Ingmar Bergman-written Torment (1944) she had her reaI breakthrough roIe in Freida (1947) opposite David Farrar. She worked again with Bergman on Music in Darkness (1948), followed by Quartet (1948), The Romantic Age (1949), and OnIy Two Can Play (1962). At the time of Pattern For Plunder's fiIming, Mai thought herself a bit too oId for starIet roIes (though it didn't stop her from having a sexy lingerie scene) and by the end of the year had gotten into directing with her short fiIm The War Game (1963). Her first feature, Loving CoupIes (1964), was banned from the Cannes FiIm FestivaI for its sexual expIicitness but was almost universaIly praised by critics. Other films directed by this pioneering femaIe fiImmaker include Night Games (1966), Doctor GIas (1968) and The GirIs (1968). Co-star Keenan Wynn sports an uncharacteristic beard in a rare dashing leading role. A beIoved character actor, he is best remembered for his parts in Annie Get Your Gun (1950), The Absent Minded Professor (1961), and Dr. StrangeIove (1964) as weIl as scores of memorabIe television guest appearances. Ronald Howard, the son of tragic British actor LesIie Howard, played SherIock HoImes in a syndicated teIevision series that began running in the US in the falI of 1954. |
