Old Crime Film - Men in Black Capes

[HorizonsFW]

Hi All,

My boss told us a story the other day about an unknown film that he saw on television, in Britain, that traumatized him as a child. I would love to find a way to identify this but have no idea what it is.

He said it's a movie with several criminals, traveling in a group, wearing black capes, and causing mayhem and destruction in the city. He clearly stated that these are not superheroes of any sort, but regular criminals.

Given his age, this would have to be a movie made in the 1970s or earlier. He believes it was probably an American film but it isn't sure. I'm thinking black and white, though I don't know that for sure either.

If you have any idea what this might be, we would both appreciate it.

Thanks!

Nate

Definitely not Clockwork Orange. Think older. B&W.
