Synopsis:
British crooks steal gold bullion from under the noses of the Mafia by staging a massive traffic jam in Turin and posing as World Cup supporters.
Review:
Classic sixties caper, basically a collection of gags and personality turns; it's very lightweight but smartly written and well mounted, so that by now its very shortcomings have become assets, so affectionately is every scene known to swathes of the GB population.
