The Italian Job - people rant and rave about this film, and we always get told it's the one with the three mini coopers and that infamous line. It's all that, but so much more as well.
Noel Coward's performance was amazing, the camera loves him - and he loves it back, oozing camp control at every moment. Caine doing what he does best, shout, get annoyed and generally play the bad boy. The surprise for me was how visually interesting the film was - sweeping shots of the alps, racing movements through Turin...surperb.
The minis sequence is all its build up to be and more, I just grinned throughout. I loved the fact that no Italian policeman could drive, in fact the whole comedy anti-European theme was hilarious.
A great, entertaining film with a strong supporting cast (Benny Hill!) and a brave, memorable ending. Often copied, never matched. Spoil yourself, go enjoy.
