Loot

In the zany 1970 comedy-crime film Loot, we are introduced to the hapless duo of Dennis and Hal, two bank robbers whose luck takes a turn for the absurd after a successful heist. With the police hot on their trail, they concoct an outrageous plan to hide their stolen cash in the most unexpected place: Hal's recently-deceased mother's coffin. Their misadventure escalates as they transport this morbid stash to Hal's father's hotel, leading to a series of comedic mishaps that blend crime with dark humor.

As the story unfolds, the duo’s antics draw the attention of the eccentric Inspector Truscott, whose relentless pursuit of justice adds a delightful layer of chaos to the already complicated situation. The film cleverly explores themes of desperation and resourcefulness against a backdrop of funeral parlor shenanigans, creating a unique blend of comedy and crime that keeps viewers on their toes. With its quirky characters and offbeat scenarios, Loot offers a satirical take on the lengths to which people will go to protect their ill-gotten gains, making it a charmingly unpredictable ride for fans of classic comedies.
