The Italian Job (the original and best!)
Dir. Peter Collinson | 95 mins | Comedy,Caper | UK, 1969 | Rated PG
Starring Michael Caine, Noel Coward and Benny Hill
Charlie has a “job” to do. Having just left prison, he finds one of his friends has attempted a high-risk job in Italy right under the nose of the Mafia. Charlie’s friend doesn’t get very far, so Charlie takes over the “job”. Using three Mini Coopers, a couple of Jaguars, and a bus, he hopes to bring Turin to a standstill, steal the gold, and escape.
Featuring a spectacular performance from Michael Caine, The Italian Job remains one of the best representations of British culture in the late 1960s.
