"Everyone in the world is bent".
That should be the theme of this movie.
One of the classic movies of Michael Caine's early career. Caine plays a fresh out of prison Charlie Croker. Croker orchestrates a theft of gold in Italy, planned down to the last details. The only problem is getting the British organized crime ring to agree, and the Italian Mafia to not stop them.
Features a strong British feel to the film, with incredible shots of Mini Coopers speeding through Turin through drainage culverts, rivers, roofs, and just about everywhere else where you'd never expect a car to be.
