Crafty brothers Michael (Michael Crawford) and David Tremayne (Oliver Reed) decide to steal Britain's crown jewels -- but not for anything as vulgar as wealth. Instead, Michael and David plan to return the jewels just days after they steal them and then bask in the resulting glory. So the pair devise a madcap heist involving an elaborate series of bomb scares to distract the authorities. But what happens when one of the brothers decides on a change of plan?

Audience Member The Jokers is a 1967 comedy film written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, and directed by Michael Winner. The film stars Michael Crawford and Oliver Reed as brothers who hatch a plot to steal the Crown Jewels. Very much of its time - "Swinging London" - the film makes great use of London locations.

It is truly fun, though. Two brothers plan and carry out the theft of the British crowned jewels . . . . . as a practical joke. This film is quiet a gem. If you ever get a chance to see it, don't miss it. It doesn't come around too often. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review eric b Well-made, fun, accessible film with a great plot and two well-known stars (Oliver Reed, Michael Crawford). And it keeps you delightfully hanging in suspense until the very last minutes. Can't understand why this film is so obscure. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
