The Italian Job

Director: Peter Collinson

1969 / 99min / DCP

No sooner is ace criminal Charlie Croker (Michael Caine) out of the slammer and back on the streets than he’s planning his biggest heist yet, plotting with Noël Coward’s criminal mastermind to snap up a $4,000,000 gold shipment from the streets of Turin with the assistance of a hand-picked crew and three customized Mini Coopers. A tasty confection of Swinging ’60s camp, featuring a third-act getaway car chase that belongs to the pantheon of vehicular mayhem. “Is there a film—certainly a British film—that delivers a greater infusion of pure joy than The Italian Job?”—The Telegraph
