The Italian Job

Buy This Item The Italian Job by Paramount  Available from Amazon  $9.99  on 11-25-2008     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. <i>--Tom Keogh</I> Reader Reviews The Italian Job, Special Collector's Edition, brings a high quality copy of the 1969 classic. Excellent sound and image. Unfortunately without spanish subtitles. A must for car lovers. Not just Minis but a lot of Alfa Romeos, Lamborghinis, Jaguars, Dino Fiats and Aston Martins.
