4.0 out of 5 stars Fun '70s picture available on DVD in Region 4, February 14, 2005

This review is from: Silver Bears [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie is available on DVD in Region 4 (Australia, New Zealand) and I picked it up from an online retailer to play in my region-free player. What a fortuitous choice.
It was funny to watch a young Jay Leno and Louis Jourdan was a good choice to play a down on his luck Italian count, but what really made this movie for me was Michael Caine playing it both ruthless and charming.
The movies plot follows Caine's idea of having the American Mafia buy a bank in Switzerland with which to launder money. All seems to be going as planned until he arrives in Geneva and things start to unravel.
Thinking on his feet Caine and his chums decide to make the best of their situation and in the process of turning things around become entangled in a silver smuggling operation, an unscrupulous banker (played by Joss Ackland), a shrewd silver merchant (Charles Gray) and a flighty, affectionate American "tourist" played by Cybill (Moonlighting) Shepherd.
It's all good fun and a delightful romp. For fans of the movie (like me) it's well worth picking up a copy and putting it into your region-free DVD player. You won't be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars It has it all, December 4, 2001

This review is from: Silver Bears [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie is like Catch 22 or Kelly's Hero's in that everyone in it became a star...Tope acting with a good story line leads to a movie that is very enjoyable and a pleasent way to spend a couple hours...if you think Michael Caine, Charles Grodin, and yes even a very young Jay Leno trying to buy a bank from an Italian Count so they can launder mafia money sounds like fun...this is it...a cornerstone of a comedy collection
