Topkapi (1964)

Second viewing (first one: January 14, 1998).

A woman communicates to a long-time friend her wish to steal an emerald-incrusted dagger from the Topkapi museum in Istanbul. He agrees, and hatches what he thinks is a perfect plan, using only amateurs with no police record. They begin the execution by picking a man with the sole function of driving a car into Turkey with some guns and grenades (which will not be used for killing or hurting anyone). And so on...

A good heist film, leaning towards the comedic, and very entertaining.

Rating: 65 (unchanged)
