a5c7b9f00b Charlie has just left prison, and now wants to do a 'big job'. The job is to steal $4m of gold arriving in Italy from China. Charlie's job needs financing, so he goes to Mr Bridger (a Mafia-type boss) who is in prison (Charlie has to break in !). In Italy, a clever plan is used to distract the authorities, while the raiders make their get-away in three Minis. This leads to an excellent car chase sequence through Italian streets, buildings, rivers, sewers, highways and rooftops which lasts for several minutes.
Comic caper movie about a plan to steal a gold shipment from the streets of Turin by creating a traffic jam.
Excellent documentary material which, however, is sadly lacking any comment from any of the actors apart from Frank Jarvis (Roger) and Derek Ware (Rozzer - and in fact he was the stunt coordinator in addition). The deleted "Blue Danube" scene is a delight to watch, although I agree with the general consensus of the makers that it would have been out of place in the actual released movie.<br/><br/>The commentary is done by Michael Deeley, the producer, and the author of "The Making of The Italian Job" book, Matthew Field. Field, rather sadly, comes across I'm afraidthe worst kind of anorak or Italian Job fanboy. He spends at least half the movie telling Deeley stuff about the movie which Deeley himself has evidently forgotten. At one point he raises a bizarre theory that the production designer Disley Jones was responsible for introducing an orange motif, since the Lambourghini seen during the opening titles, the titles themselves and the bulldozer used by the mafia to destroy Charlie Croker's car are all orange. Then Deeley points outgentlyhe can that Jones would not have been responsible for the colour of the credits, and the bulldozer is orange because it would have come in that colour regardless. Later on Field makes a kind of Freudian slip, when he refers to something in filming and uses the phrase, "…and then we…."if he'd been present on set, when in fact it was made twelve years before he was born!<br/><br/>Deeley himself makes a charming comment about another movie he produced, without naming it: "I liked the contrast in another movie I made, which started off in the foundries of Pittsburgh, and the opening scene was a long wedding scene, and then we suddenly cut to Vietnam…." Nicely subtle!<br/><br/>The end of the documentary pays a brief tribute to the talent of director Peter Collinson, who tragically died of cancer when he was in his forties. Strangely enough, his widow repeatedly said that he died when he was "not quite 41", whereas the IMDb records his age at death44 (April 1936 - December 1980).<br/><br/>I'd like to briefly talk about some of the comments made here - I find it deeply sad that anybody could remotely consider the remake superior, and criticising this classic original because elements of it were "impossible" or "implausible" can only have been made by people who have never seen a caper movie before. "I was halfway through the movie before I realized that it was supposed to be a comedy, not a genuine caper flick." Erm, *all* genuine caper flicks are comedies, or should be (ever hear of "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World?), and this one is no less a caper flick than any other that has been made. "I'm still not sure exactly what kind of person Mr. Bridger is supposed to be – a prisoner who has free run of the prison and is treated like royalty by everyone, including the guards?" Hello, again, *it's* *a* *comedy*. And a prisoner who sees prisonno reason to curtail his activities and has the staff in his pocket is a very old conceit and has been used in films that these guys would praise, like Goodfellas for instance. To say nothing of people who say its a terrible movie because the heisters are shambling incompetents! Actually, this is a joke very much understood and enjoyed by the British and other Europeans which the Americans seem simply not to comprehend - which may explain why The Italian Job (and other similar movies actually made in Hollywood, like The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight and the original Ocean's 11) failed in the States.<br/><br/>Gregmoroberts, your heart is in the right place, but you posted your comment about the remake on the wrong movie!
From the beginning (more groovy than Austin Powers could hope to be!) through the wonderful planning-the-crime montage to the climactic hold-your-breath chase scene, which demonstrates why a tiny car is so much more fun than a great whale of a vehicle, this is great fun. And that ending… I hear this is being remade; I hope (probably in vain) that the new version leaves the ending intact. That final shot is unforgettable and perfect.

In 2008, a contest was held to find a solution, and the winning entry was: Break and remove two large side windows just aft of the pivot point and let the glass fall outside to lose its weight. Break two windows over the two front axles; keep the broken glass on board to keep its weight for balance. Let a man out on a rope through the front broken windows (not to rest his weight on the ground) and he deflates all the bus's front tyres, to reduce the bus's rocking movement about its pivot point. Drain the fuel tank, which was aft of the pivot point; that changes the balance enough to let a man get out and gather heavy rocks to load the front of the bus. Unload the bus. Wait until a suitable vehicle passes on the road, and hijack it and carry the gold away in it.<br/><br/>It has been pointed out that the petrol tank of that model of bus is at the back, so allowing the engine to run in neutral will burn the petrol off, reducing the weight on the back part and rebalancing the bus back on the road. Yes, but it was not made, mainly because the film flopped in the United States. According to a "Making Of" documentary, in the sequel, helicopters would save the bus seen on the cliff at the end of the first film. The grateful gang would soon discover that it is the Mafia that has saved them, and the sequel would have been about stealing the gold bullion back from them. In interviews in 2003 and 2008, Michael Caine revealed that the ending would have had Croker "crawl up, switch on the engine and stay there for four hours until all the petrol runs out… The van bounces back up so we can all get out, but then the gold goes over." The bus containing the gold would crash at the bottom of the hill where the Mafia would pick it up. The sequel would then have Croker and his men trying to get it back. A novel showing a possible sequel has just been published which starts with a bus balanced on the edge of a cliff. Don't Fear The Reaper is written by Garry Kay and is available online from Lulu.com.<br/><br/>An alternative source gives a sequel involving the British's eternal enemy - The French. The gold falls down the mountain and is recovered by French gangsters. Instead of mini coopers, there would be battles between Croker's team and the French involving hovercrafts (Britain's other great cool vehicle of the 60s)
