A Classic Caper Movie
by Jakealope β€’ 2002-07-17
8/10

πŸ’‘ Did You Know?

During production, a Boston resident was paid to remove the air conditioner from his window so they could film on that particular street for a shot. The next day when they arrived to continue filming, every window on the street had an air conditioner.
