I remember enjoying this movie about 1969-1972 or so. It was a heist movie that takes place in a port city of Brasil (I believe). It starts by the planner asking for heist participants with particular skills from a list of available personnel, who all are then hired and assemble at the place where the heist is to take place. All does not go according to plan, however, but in the end it does work out, though there is a bit of behind-the-scenes stuff and possible double-crosses. I don't remember all the details, but I'm very curious to see this movie again.

I'm sorry, but that is about all I can remember about it.

Perhaps Grand Slam (1967)

Around the time, about a heist and located in Rio.

Thanks so much! That's it. It has been a long time since I've seen it, and I've thought about it from time to time. It is actually on Youtube in its entirety.
