Among those involved are Dix (Sterling Hayden), an impoverished hood who sees the upcoming jewel heist as a means to finance...

During this time, our children treated him like a brother. He was older than our kids, and our young sons Luke and Wesley enjoyed having a "big brother." Charles had only one older brother of his own, so he enjoyed having two sisters as well. Nora and Junia enjoyed talking to him as they grew older. When we picked him up from boarding school, he would introduce us as "my family," despite the obvious racial difference.
