Charlie&#39;s got a &#39;Job&#39; to do. Having just left prison, he finds one of his friends has attempted a high risk job in Italy right under the nose of the Mafia. Charlie&#39;s friend doesn&#39;t get very far so Charlie takes over the &#39;Job&#39;. Using three Mini Coopers, a couple of Jaguars and a bus, he hopes to bring Torino to a standstill, steal the Gold and escape.
Charlie has just left prison, and now wants to do a &#39;big job&#39;. The job is to steal $4m of gold arriving in Italy from China. Charlie&#39;s job needs financing, so he goes to Mr Bridger (a Mafia-type boss) who is in prison (Charlie has to break in !). In Italy, a clever plan is used to distract the authorities, while the raiders make their get-away in three Minis. This leads to an excellent car chase sequence through Italian streets, buildings, rivers, sewers, highways and rooftops which lasts for several minutes.
In a sense I was disappointed to find that I actually liked The Italian Job. For after decades of imitations and student new-lad pub bores crowbarring &quot;You&#39;re only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!&quot; into conversation, I was all prepared to hate it.<br/><br/>Yet The Italian Job is a good film. A very good film in fact. First-class direction, all pans and upshot angles, and slyly political, though its &quot;Cool Britannia&quot; ethos almost seems to parody devotees of the Union Jack. Anyone watching this film for reconfirmation of the Empire is mistaken, though the team&#39;s final downfall notably comes from the only non-Caucasian member.<br/><br/>The humour is self-conscious, but never so that it goes too far; it&#39;s always witty. Michael Caine is the archetype Michael Caine, all pointing finger and raised-voice declarations, the version mimics love to portray. Noël Coward is able support in a straightish role, though the wonderful Benny Hill parodies his own image, thus diluting his already fine (And misunderstood) ironic take on the sexual pervert.<br/><br/>Screen realism is not an issue here, with a Mafia cameo who are hardly Don Corleone. Women are also marginalised, with only Maggie Blye getting a largish role as Caine&#39;s girlfriend, Lorna. This is the same girlfriend who hires six women to help celebrate his release from prison, and refers to fellow womankind as &quot;birds&quot;. Yet while the film is a &quot;boys only&quot; club, it&#39;s far from a testosterone-led car chase, as Coward&#39;s appearance should attest. And what makes the final climatic chase so rewarding is that it&#39;s carefully, and intelligently, set up. The film is metaphorical where you wouldn&#39;t expect it to be, and well-acted all round.<br/><br/>All of which leaves me struggling for a way to end this review. Hang on a minute, lads, I&#39;ve got an idea -
It&#39;s probably not a good idea to see a remake first, but in the case of The Italian Job I did see the Mark Wahlberg/Ed Norton/Donald Sutherland version first. That was an interesting enough film with the action on revenge. But this original with Michael Caine playing the ringleader of a daring bullion hijack has a sense of style all its own. And why wouldn&#39;t it with Noel Coward giving his farewell screen performance.<br/><br/>Caine is the ringleader of a team of crack hijackers who&#39;ve been given a plan by the late Rossano Brazzi and it&#39;s Caine&#39;s job to flesh it out and make it all happen. He&#39;s given the plan by Brazzi&#39;s less than grieving widow Margaret Blye and he takes it to master criminal Noel Coward.<br/><br/>Watching Coward running things from his prison cell put me in mind of Goodfellas where the wise guys are all living the good life via bribes of guards, etc. He might be in jail, but no one is going crimp in any way Noel Coward&#39;s sense of refinement. Caine has to sell himself and the job to Coward.<br/><br/>But once he does the robbery goes off like clockwork. The caper itself is where this version and the Mark Wahlberg version are at the most similar. Who would have thought that Seth Green would be playing a role originated by Benny Hill as a computer mastermind. Of course computers have changed some in the over 30 years between the two films.<br/><br/>Only Ocean&#39;s 11 (the Sinatra version) has the same sense of irony in its conclusion as The Italian Job has. Talk about unresolved endings.......

In 2008, a contest was held to find a solution, and the winning entry was: Break and remove two large side windows just aft of the pivot point and let the glass fall outside to lose its weight. Break two windows over the two front axles; keep the broken glass on board to keep its weight for balance. Let a man out on a rope through the front broken windows (not to rest his weight on the ground) and he deflates all the bus&#39;s front tyres, to reduce the bus&#39;s rocking movement about its pivot point. Drain the fuel tank, which was aft of the pivot point; that changes the balance enough to let a man get out and gather heavy rocks to load the front of the bus. Unload the bus. Wait until a suitable vehicle passes on the road, and hijack it and carry the gold away in it.<br/><br/>It has been pointed out that the petrol tank of that model of bus is at the back, so allowing the engine to run in neutral will burn the petrol off, reducing the weight on the back part and rebalancing the bus back on the road. Yes, but it was not made, mainly because the film flopped in the United States. According to a &quot;Making Of&quot; documentary, in the sequel, helicopters would save the bus seen on the cliff at the end of the first film. The grateful gang would soon discover that it is the Mafia that has saved them, and the sequel would have been about stealing the gold bullion back from them. In interviews in 2003 and 2008, Michael Caine revealed that the ending would have had Croker &quot;crawl up, switch on the engine and stay there for four hours until all the petrol runs out... The van bounces back up so we can all get out, but then the gold goes over.&quot; The bus containing the gold would crash at the bottom of the hill where the Mafia would pick it up. The sequel would then have Croker and his men trying to get it back. A novel showing a possible sequel has just been published which starts with a bus balanced on the edge of a cliff. Don&#39;t Fear The Reaper is written by Garry Kay and is available online from Lulu.com.<br/><br/>An alternative source gives a sequel involving the British&#39;s eternal enemy - The French. The gold falls down the mountain and is recovered by French gangsters. Instead of mini coopers, there would be battles between Croker&#39;s team and the French involving hovercrafts (Britain&#39;s other great cool vehicle of the 60s)  a5c7b9f00b
