isla s 09/04/2022 This is an amusing film from the 1960s. The plot is pretty simple and it certainly provided a fair few chuckles, with Sid James being his usual cockney self with lines such as 'Luckily me face broke me fall!' 'we left fifteen hundred knicker...' and numerous jokes/quips about their money being hidden and the like. It was, I believe, pre-'carry on' film franchise, although there's definitely similar elements of play, with some slapstick comedy and wordplay via silly puns and the like. Its an easy watch and I found it quite entertaining. A little basic perhaps, if I'm to be very critical but I thought it was a good bit of fun and enjoyed it, so I'd say its worth a watch, hence I'd recommend it. See more 04/13/2022 LOL, the funniest robbery comedy ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 08/27/2016 Almost a "Carry On" film. :-) See more 04/07/2016 Essentially the 'Carry On' that wasn't. It's almost the same style, and given its the same director, much of the same cast, and made in between half a dozen of the aforementioned series you'd be forgiven for thinking it was. See more 08/26/2013 Despite the presence of Sid James, Joan Sims, Jim Dale, and director Gerald Thomas, "The Big Job" was not considered one of the "Carry On" movies. But it's quite amusing nonetheless, with James in good form as the leader of the pack of crims.
