The lead actors certainly have chemistry, while director Ronald Neame skilfully keeps the twists and turns coming, accompanied by a typically lush score from prolific composer Maurice Jarre. Go to Full Review Christopher Lloyd The Film Yap 06/13/2022

@MilloTPue 04/03/2022 Funny, elegant, with a few interesting tricks and two actors with great talent. See more 12/13/2021 Nice to see a heist movie poking fun of its premise, but the romcom twist was not needed See more steve d 07/18/2020 It's hard to root for anyone. See more 03/18/2019 Pretty good. Well made and intriguing. But it still pales in comparison to Topkapi (the best heist film ever). The twist ending is a let down. And how is it that the lattice above the elevator just happens to be removable, and the Caine character knows this ahead? See more delysid d 07/25/2018 This is a totally unique and funny movie if you like the 60s you will like this See more s r @ScottR 01/03/2018 A weak plot and a director who can't decide how serious it should be leaves you wondering the point of this picture that didn't date well.
