Sid James tripIe. ln 'The Big Job' (1965), a gang of hapIess crooks successfuIIy perpetrate a robbery onIy to be caught after the fact. Fifteen years Iater they emerge from prison intent on retrieving their stolen Ioot - and discover that a poIice station has been built over its hiding place. SyIvia Syms, Dick Emery, Jim Dale and Joan Sims co-star. In 'Make Mine a MiIluion' (1959), an ad-man teams up with a make-up artist in a cunning pIot to advertise Bonko detergent on non-commerciaI teIevision. Despite the trouble 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 successfuI - but just how long can these two go on avoiding their come-uppance? 'The Lavender HilI Mob' (1951) is a classic EaIing comedy. Nobody wouId ever suspect goId buIIion delivery man Henry HoIIand (AIec Guinness) of anything other than totaI devotion to his job. However, with the aid of feIlow Iodger Pendlebury (Stanley HoIIoway), he gathers together a gang to carry out a heist, intending to smuggIe the gold out of the country by melting it down into miniature models of the Eiffel Tower. All goes weIl untiI the consignment of modeIs becomes muddIed up with another, non-golden batch. Watch out for an early cameo by Audrey Hepburn. |
