Of he was a bold  Blue jaws and soldering eyes that nicked threats about the room As if the were cig Aret ashes. When the thief opened his Mouth i never knew whether he was 8�atg10 p m., when i was finished watching the show. 1 could not wait for his next appearance on television. I going to have to keep looking up the listings for All the local television stations because these networks Don t have enough sense to put the thief on atan hour when we All can see him. I Don t think anybody played a robber better than the late Stanley Baker who was on television in new York last night laying the part of the gang Boss in the movie Rob Bery which is about the great British train robbery in August 1963. When Stanley Baker wearing a Royal Blue knitted Cap that made him look like a double hoodlum dumped the Lake from this one onto the tables the Money bags acted like High Speed printing presses throwing out notes until there was 7 million Worth of them on the table. 1 cheered. You have to love anybody who really knows How to  Baker has been dead for almost a year now. But last night on television everything he represented in a criminal live Don. When Lite score was to be made Stanley Baker did not cower in an office someplace and let others go out into the night and do it. Never. Last night on television Stanle Baker was the first Man into the mail car of the train brushing past everybody and going right to the Money  the robbery he never became Ner Vous and turned Amateur no matter How tight things were. In one scene in the movie last night Here was the inspector from Scot land Yard pacing about directly Over the cellar where Baker was hiding. Baker did not change his breathing. He did not sweat his body was motionless. He stared up the ladder and waited. Waited waited waited he never cried for his Mother. That was the Way it went with the mob unreal life too. They got $7 million and when they were caught they All turned into Doug Las Gordon Goody who stood in the Dock with a smile on his face to hear his sentence. He never blinked As the judge gave him 30years. And then As a guard took him by the Elbow. Goody looked Over the audience an smiled toward the door. He knew that some where out there in a place where he knew and the police did to was a few million Dol Lars.
