The Italian Job (1969)

The Italian Job stars Michael Caine. One of those movies that really is the epitome of the 1960s art and style, or at least encapsulates it. With stylish mafia, James Bond style carousing with the ladies, Cooper Minis, and a caper in Italy, it captures and distills the feel of 1960s cinema pretty well. The movie is significantly different from the 2003 remake starring Mark Wahlberg so don't watch it with any expectations of seeing the same general plot.
The 1969 version is a fun movie, overall. Caine's character, Charlie Croker, gets onto a well-planned job in Torino, Italy, involving $4 million in gold. Croker recruits the help of an imprisoned British gang boss (played by Noel Coward) for the resources to pull it off. Trouble is the mafia don't like Brits trying to pull off big jobs under their own noses in Italy.
The main point of similarity between the 1969 version and the 2003 version (which is also a fun movie to watch) is a chase involving Cooper Minis and driving them in the most unusual places (sewers, cathedral steps, on top of buildings, etc). The car chase is certainly innovative and highly entertaining.
I give the movie a B+.
