        Funny gangster flick based on true story

        This is the story of two German bank robbers who left Germany in 1934, only to create more gangster style mayhem in Basel and fall in love with two girls in Basel, Switzerland. Unlike say "Bonnie and Clyde" it's pure entertainment, although there are a few boring bits (unless you want to see the Basel zoo and other sights) and some rather shallow dialogue). Nevertheless quite funny and mostly entertaining. Violence and some nudity! And lots of laughs, actually.
