The Italian Job is a classic British comedy caper, written by Troy Kennedy Martin, produced by Michael Deeley, directed by Peter Collinson (who also has two small cameo roles) and starring Michael Caine, Benny Hill, Raf Vallone, Tony Beckley and Noël Coward; the film was Coward's ’Mr Bridger’ last before retirement.
The film's plot centres on Cockney criminal Charlie Croker, recently released from prison, who forms a gang for the job of stealing a cache of gold bars being transported through the city of Turin in an armoured security truck.
The line "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" was recently voted the favourite film one-liner closely followed by "Hang on a minute lads. I've got a great idea."
"Just remember this: In this country they drive on the wrong side of the road."
