Based on the novel by Gerald A. Browne, 11 Harrowhouse is a 1974 heist spoof with an all-star cast. The story concerns millionaire Clyde Massey (
Trevor Howard) pressuring diamond merchant Howard R. Chesser (
Charles Grodin) into robbing a London diamond exchange owned by Meecham (
John Gielgud. Howard gets help from his girlfriend Maren Shirell (
Candice Bergen), discontented employee Charles D. Watts (
James Mason), and a cockroach in order to execute the plan. Once he has the fortune, Massey tries to double-cross his team of forced thieves, but his wealthy partner-in-crime Lady Anne Bolding (
Helen Cherry) helps them escape.
Charles Grodin, who also co-wrote the screenplay adaptation, provides voice-over commentary. 11 Harrowhouse is also known as
Anything for Love and Fast Fortune. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
