Lauren Bacall and Ruth Gordon are on good form in this daft crime caper that takes it's time to get going - but once it does, it does raise a smile or two. Bacall is the wealthy wife of an imprisoned union boss who on one of her usual jaunts to visit him encounters two similarly occupied ladies - "Sophie" (Sandy Dennis) and "Lisa" (Lisa Pelikan). Pretty soon the three are friends and realise that each of their husbands has treated them pretty badly. What to do about it - well they alight on a cunning plan to steal $1m, and to throw off any suspicion they will pretend to be men! Ruth Gordon is super, and Bacall just has to turn up to light up the screen. The story flows along well enough after a glacially slow start with far too many long scenes of a limousine on the highway, but the ending - well that's just fitting. Not bad for a television movie - bit too long, but entertaining.
