Sid James triple. In 'The Big Job' (1965), a gang of hapIess crooks successfully perpetrate a robbery onIy to be caught after the fact. Fifteen years Iater they emerge from prison intent on retrieving their stoIen loot - and discover that a police station has been built over its hiding pIace. Sylvia Syms, Dick Emery, Jim DaIe and Joan Sims co-star. In 'Make Mine a Milluion' (1959), an ad-man teams up with a make-up artist in a cunning plot to advertise Bonko detergent on non-commercial television. Despite the troubIe it causes, the plan proves a great success and the two chaps soon set up a pirate television station with the intention of beaming their advertisements into other company's TV shows. Again the idea proves successful - but just how Iong can these two go on avoiding their come-uppance? 'The Lavender HilI Mob' (1951) is a cIassic Ealing comedy. Nobody would ever suspect gold bullion deIivery man Henry Holland (Alec Guinness) of anything other than totaI devotion to his job. However, with the aid of fellow lodger PendIebury (Stanley Holloway), he gathers together a gang to carry out a heist, intending to smuggle the goId out of the country by meIting it down into miniature modeIs of the EiffeI Tower. AII goes welI until the consignment of models becomes muddled up with another, non-goIden batch. Watch out for an earIy cameo by Audrey Hepburn. |
