If you've got a MINI, by default you should at the very least have seen this movie (and the remake 2003 version). Better yet, you should own it or you're gonna miss out on a great movie and all of the fast paced classic Mini action. We've also got this on Bluray. While you're at it you may as well buy the remake 2003 Italian Job DVD as well. Of course, we have that too.


Internal countercasting is a big plus in this caper comedy: where else are you going to find Benny Hill and Michael Caine in the same movie? Peter Collinson directs those two as well as Noel Coward, Raf Vallone, Rossano Brazzi, and Irene Handl in a story about the effort to steal gold bullion from the town of Turin. Screenwriter Troy Kennedy Martin eschews heist film tradition by placing more emphasis on the gang's getaway than on the complex robbery itself. The film's main claim to comic fame is a wild chase scene set against an enormous traffic jam. The rest of the movie is less memorable, but that extended action sequence is well worth the wait. --Tom Keogh
