The Italian Job (1969)

The quintessential British caper of the 1960s with Michael Caine as Charlie Croker, a suave thief and skirt-chaser who leads a team of crims in an ambitious attempt to hijack gold bullion from Italy - from underneath the noses of the police and the Mafia.

The job requires a sponsor, so Croker turns to Mr. Bridger (Noel Coward), a regal, incarcerated crime boss with a peculiar fascination with the Queen. Bridger provides Croker with a quirky group of Britain's most infamous computer hackers (including a lascivious Benny Hill), bank robbers, hijackers, and getaway drivers. Features a soundtrack composed by Quincy Jones.
