Moderately amusing comedy about a gang of bumbling would be robbers. A must see if you're a fan of Robert Wagner or Raquel Welch, as they both look gorgeous here and smile dazzlingly. The rest of you might find a better way to occupy 90 minutes.

Robert Wagner is the attractive young gangster / jetset hipster, and Raquel Welch is his groovy chick along for the ride. Vittorio Desica (who was a famous actor in Italy)does a great job acting the part of an ageing Italian gentleman. I first saw this film with my Dad who was a big fan. My dad grew up in Italy in the area where this movie was filmed (Naples), so watching it gave him a nostalgic feeling. Reasons to watch this movie: great scenery of southern Italy, Desica's acting, and the uniqueness of the film: you won't EVER see a comedy movie nowadays, filmed on location with such good actors, and with such a simple yet amusing storyline.

This may be "mildly amusing", but with a refreshing lack of pretense, this heist movie is always a pleasure to watch.
The "gang" aren't really crooks at all and that makes for some comic moments; they succeed despite their "unprofessional" status. The lead character is a somewhat annoying Johnny Cool type that comes off dated...but there are other high points...
miss Welch...and it's filmed on location in Italy (presumably)!
So it's not academy award stuff, but it, in my opinion is eminently re-watchable. And the presense of Edward G. Robinson lends it some classic hollywood status. Get it...I'm waiting for the DVD.

I bought this movie because of Raquel Welch. She was gorgeous in this
Film as she played the role of Harry (Mike Wagner) girl friend. Harry a
robber down on his luck trying to make one more heist. Harry goes to a
funeral where he meets Vittorio De Sica and takes him for a ride. When
things don't work out on the ride they put there mines together to
figure out the fastest way to get money. Harry and his gang decide with
the help of Vittorio De Sica to from there on mob. Rest a sure that no
matter what the gang goes after that the outcome is never the same and
will keep you on the edge of your sit. The rest of the out come you
need to watch for yourself. As far as Raquel goes if you're a fan of
here then you need to watch this movie because she never looked better
