Michael Caine and Mini Coopers burn up the screen in this romanticised, swinging-60s caper film, a hilarious ensemble film that remains the grooviest of the genre. The remake, in comparison, is sheer vanilla.

The film runs ragged, and completely randomly, through a fictionalised Turin landscape, and the laughs and complications double up with each act. The last line remains one of the finest genre finishers, ever.
