Sean Connery stars as a career criminal who decides to pull off a high end heist at the swank Upper East Side apartment of his girlfriend, kept woman Dyan Cannon. But things start to go awry when his mob backer wants him to use the robbery to whack one of his thugs, and various agencies and individuals have the building and his associates under surveillance.

Story Songs: Incense and Peppermints

Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind
Dead kings, many things I can't define
Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind
Incense and peppermints, the color of time
Who cares what games we choose
Little to win, but nothing to lose
Incense and peppermints, meaningless nouns
Turn on, tune in, turn your eyes around
Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, girl
Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, girl, yeah, yeah
To divide the cockeyed world in two
Throw your pride to one side, it's the least you can do
Beatniks and politics, nothin' is new
A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view
Who cares what games we choose
Little to win, but nothing to lose
Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind
Dead kings, many things I can't define
Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind
Incense and peppermints, the color of time
Who cares what games we choose
Little to win, but nothing to lose
Incense, peppermints
Incense, peppermints

Murdered our friends’ son and held his body hostage in Gaza.
