The Italian Job
1969
***½
Director: Peter Collinson
Cast: Michael Caine, Noël Coward, Benny Hill, Raf Vallone, Tony Beckley, Rossano Brazzi
An enjoyable but disposable caper movie about a professional criminal who puts together a team to steal a gold shipment from the Fiat factory in Turin. The plan includes creating a traffic chaos and using three Mini Coopers to navigate through it. This influential film has a nice cast, an exciting chase scene and a memorable cliffhanger ending. Remade in 2003.
