The Italian Job
1969 - 99 min. - Color
Genre: Thriller
Rated PG-13
Country: USA

LaserDisc Movie Storyline:
Peter Collinson's 1969 caper film made an immediate impact with audiences craving a faster paced and higher octane film. A box-office hit that held audiences breathless, THE ITALIAN JOB would influence action movies for years to come with its thrilling car chases, explosive pyrotechnics, and smash-em-up sensibility. 

Before being murdered by the Mafia, criminal genius Robert Beckerman (Rossano Brazzi in a cameo role) masterminds a plan to steal $4 million worth of gold bullion from an armored car in Turin, Italy. The ambitious heist is taken over by Beckerman's friend and smalltime crook Charlie Croker (Michael Caine), who organizes a motley group of thieves bankrolled by jailed kingpin Mr. Bridger (Noel Coward). To pull off the plan, the gang must tie up traffic in the center of the city to divert attention from the robbery, block police pursuit, and ultimately make off with their booty undetected. The caper leads to one of the most exciting car chases ever filmed, featuring a bus, a couple of Jaguars, and a trio of brightly colored Mini Coopers careening through the streets, buildings, and highways of northern Italy and winding up in a breathtaking final cliffhanger that is simply unforgettable.

LaserDisc Movie Review:
The quintessential British caper film of the 1960s, The Italian Job is a flashy, fast romp that chases a team of career criminals throughout one of the biggest international gold heists in history. Michael Caine is Charlie Croker, a stylish robber and skirt-chaser just out of British prison. Shunning rehabilitation for recidivism, Croker takes over "The Italian Job," a complicated plan to hijack Chinese gold bullion from Italy --- right from underneath the noses of the Italian Police and the Mafia. The job, whose original mastermind was murdered, clearly requires the sponsorship of a richer, more established criminal than Croker. He turns to the auspices of the eccentric Mr. Bridger (Nol Coward in his last film role), a suave, regal, incarcerated English 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 --- the ex-con is soon well on his way to relieving Italy of the gold. --- Aubry Anne D'Arminio

The Italian Job is a quick, fun celebration of British ingenuity and wit. Its style is fast, gaudy, and hilarious; its players are clever, flippant, and rakish. Michael Caine's Croker is handsome, natty, and has a mischievous penchant for orgies, plotting, and international escapades. Caine gives Croker a cocksure panache that is skillfully matched by Nol Coward's command as the odd Mr. Bridger. Their scheme to steal bullion cubes while distracting the police with a traffic jam proves excellent fodder for antics and car chases, allowing the film to end in the patriotic flair of the British flag as red, white, and blue Mini-coopers race through Italy, driving over buildings and waterfalls and into the Italian hillside. For this sequence, director Peter Collinson enlisted Quincy Jones and Beatles producer George Martin to create the pop anthem "Getta Bloomin' Move On" (more commonly known as "Self-preservation Society"), a tune that jokingly adds to the atmosphere of a "British Invasion." The Italian Job was a smash in Britain and abroad, and is remembered as an archetypal and influential British caper film; compare the last few frames of Guy Ritchie's modern hit Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels to the final moments of The Italian Job to find an homage to the earlier picture. --- Aubry Anne D'Arminio
