this classic film was ruined 8 years ago by a pointless remake that had nothing to do with the original classic that is the italian job ( 1969 ) . a film that made michael caine famous is among my favorite films because of its fantastic action sequences considering the films budget and its outrageous comedy . it ' s famous car chase involving the 3 mini coopers is hilarious and is always a spectacle to watch . the italian job has hilarious wit and a humourous style that could be loved by almost anyone .
fortunately , the italian job has now officially passed down into household folklore thanks to a nineties reappraisal off the back of “cool britannia” ( tm loaded , damon albarn and damien hirst ) . recent history brought the movie home to a younger generation of viewer’s eager to devour up anything vaguely related to an era liam gallagher thought was cool . thankfully , for the discerning movie fan the italian job transcends any naff retro associations and is certainly a much more entertaining film than a couple of choice michael caine one - liners would suggest .

size alone makes italy’s bank mess dangerous . but it is also an exemplar of the euro area’s wider ills : the tension between rules made in brussels and the exigencies of national politics ; and the conflict between creditors and debtors . both are the consequence of half - baked financial reforms . handled badly , the italian job could be the euro zone’s undoing .
for fans of the italian job ,
what happened next
is a major topic of discussion . caine has his own theory : the gang get out of the coach safely before trekking to the bottom of the cliff where they retrieve the gold , only to find themselves surrounded by mafia hitmen with machine guns , who take the bullion back to turin .

i went to see the italian job with mixed reviews in my head . i was pleasantly surprised with an entertaining close to 2 hours . i thought the cast was just great and so were the special effects , with the safe and truck just dropping out of sight . if you like fast paced action movies , this is the one to see .
with info from one of the italian job websites : the film is essentially about a gold heist pulled by a group of english criminals on a convoy in turin . of course , it is not that simple . the film starts with a bloke driving through the alps in a car that crashes into a bulldozer . then , in england , we see charlie croker ( michael caine ) being released from prison , and inheriting the plans to a
job
orchestrated by his old boss , who was the driver of the car who died . with help from a former inmate at the prison who provides the funds to buy the mini coopers ( noel coward ) , and no help from the mafia , charlie puts together a team to do the
job
, and proceeds do the job successfully - or does he ? for those of you who have not seen the classic film , i shall not give away the inspired , amazingly annoying ending to the film .
it is the first , intact , car that has now been found . mr tyrrell said : ‘the italian job lamborghini is the holy grail of supercars precisely because no one knew what happened to it after the film . i have a life - long passion for these cars but i just assumed this particular vehicle was out of reach . ’
charlie has just left prison , and now wants to do a ' big job ' . the job is to steal $ 4m of gold arriving in italy from china . charlie ' 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 .

an english institution as ingrained and blissfully unnecessary as moaning about the weather or queuing , the italian job has charmed people out of their armchairs for years as a perennial christmas schedule filler lumped in with similar staple classics , such as the great escape , zulu or any and every bond film you’d care not to mention again and again .

the quintessential british caper film of the 1960s , the italian job is a flashy , fast romp that chases a team of career criminals throughout one of the biggest international gold heists in history . michael caine is charlie croker , a stylish robber and skirt - chaser just out of british prison . shunning rehabilitation for recidivism , croker takes over
the italian job ,
a complicated plan to hijack gold bullion from italy - - right from underneath the noses of the italian police and the mafia . the job , whose original mastermind was murdered , clearly requires the sponsorship of a richer , more established criminal than croker . he turns to the auspices of the eccentric mr . bridger ( noël coward in his last film role ) , a suave , regal , incarcerated english crime boss with a peculiar fascination with the queen . bridger provides croker with a quirky group of britain ' s most infamous computer hackers ( including a lascivious benny hill ) , bank robbers , hijackers , and getaway drivers - - the ex - con is soon well on his way to relieving italy of the gold . ~ aubry anne d ' arminio , rovi
4 paparazzo , the news photographer played by walter santesso , is the origin of the word paparazzi , now used in the plural to describe intrusive photographers . the italian family name paparazzo is believed to come from the word papateceo , meaning mosquito .
i saw
the italian job
in a chicago screening room , in the midst of a rush of new summer releases . i recollect it now from the cannes film festival , which has assembled one unendurable film after another for its worst year in memory . that doesn ' t make
the italian job
a better film , but it provides a reminder that we do , after all , sometimes go to the movies just to have a good time and not to be mired in a slough of existential despond . don ' t get me wrong . i like a good mire in despond now and again ; it ' s just that the despond at cannes has been so unadmirable .
the genius who thought that up was sending such a wrong signal about this u - certificate caper that i knew immediately that the italian job was doomed , so i got on the next plane and came home to england . after months of hard work , sweat and tears , it can sometimes only take one small mistake like that to screw the whole thing up .
the three coopers hide from the italian police in a large garage forecourt , by parking next to a set of new minis under a big sign which reads ' innocenti ' . innocenti was an italian firm bought out by bmc who used to assemble minis for the continent . innocenti ultimately redesigned the mini bodyshell to look like something similar to a fiat panda .

the opening sequence with the lamborghini was shot in the italian alps , the scene where it exploded in a tunnel was in a place called aosta . peter collinson ' s wife , hazel had to take their baby to a lower town as it had caught a fever in the thin air . high in the italian alps , col du petit st bernard , was the scene of the jaguar / aston martin devastation that croker and his cockney suffered by the mafia .
at the time of making of the film , there was no ending , and it was left to paramount to create one . the main crew and writer hated what they came up with , so the 2nd unit was given the job of filming it .
europe’s gold might now all be in brussels ; the mini’s are being manufactured in munich and the film has just been transplanted by a bunch of americans , but there will always be a part of some small screen somewhere that is forever british . the italian job is a truly distinctive classic that will hopefully be showing for a few more christmases and bank holidays to come .

the dealer then sold the miura to an unidentified buyer . in 2005 , after it had changed hands a few times , norbetto ferretti , a luxury yacht manufacturer , bought it . this transaction brought a remarkable coincidence to the saga – as mr ferretti was the son of the dealer who originally bought it from lamborghini after the italian job . incredibly , it seems that both he and its previous owners had been completely unaware of its role in the movie .

peter collinson ' s the italian job is an action classic that is a near flawless heist film . what makes this film standout is the great cast of phenomenal talent . this film is a great blend of thrills , action and witty comedy . leading the cast is the great michael caine as charlie croker , who is absolutely wonderful on - screen . some may find that the film may be a bit slow , but what keeps you engaged in the story are the performances and the anticipation of the heist . peter collinson definitely knows how to build up the tension . what makes this film great is the combinations of comic relief , mixed with thrilling action , and add to that great performances . for me the actors that truly stood out were michael caine , noel coward ( in his final role ) and benny hill . if you ' re looking for one of the heist films , then give this one a shot . this film is constantly exciting with one of the best chase sequences ever put on film . the heist itself is the standout of the film , and i personally feel it ' s a far more inventive sequence that the 2003 remake . this film is timeless , and is just as exciting and fun as it was back then . the italian job is a must see for every action buff . when watching this classic , you realize how great films were back in the 60 ' s . the film does have a few imperfections , but it succeeds due to solid directing , an engaging plot and great cast . watching the italian job , you realize , they don ' t make action films like they used to . this is a wonderfully crafted heist film , and quite possibly the best ever in the genre .
after the gang is pulled off the bank job , they race away in the three minis - as they go through a tunnel at one point they roll up and down the sides of the tunnel . the mistake is that each car supposedly has two occupants , but on one shot of the cars in the tunnel , one car has only a single occupant - visible because the car following has his headlights on illuminating the car in front .
they filmed a scene for part of the mini cooper chase sequence on an ice rink , with the cars gliding past each other to the accompaniment of johann strauss ' s
the blue danube
. the scene was cut for timing reasons , but was included in the channel 4 documentary
the mini job
which later appeared on the special edition video . all dvd releases include the scene as an extra feature .
north italia is more than just an italian restaurant . we’re a group of folks who have become family , bonded by our mutual affinity for all things italian . we’ve come to understand that there’s an art to the handcrafted experience , especially when it comes to italian cuisine—something that we aim to perfect every day . our kitchen is as open as it gets because we & apos ; re proud to show you our menu is handmade from scratch , with love , daily . to us , nothing is quite as satisfying as sharing a dish of homemade pasta and basking in post - meal bliss together .
a 2003 remake of the movie , also called the italian job , was set in los angeles and stars mark wahlberg as charlie croker . it featured donald sutherland as john bridger , played as more of a father - figure to croker . it made many changes to the original story , replacing the british characters with a primarily american cast , moving the action from turin to venice and los angeles , adding a new villain , and replacing the ambiguous ending with one that is completely positive . the minis of the original film were replaced by the new bmw - built mini cooper and mini cooper s with the classic mini making only a cameo appearance .
they ' re not terribly exotic , but you can ' t talk about the italian job without talking about the trio of mini coopers in red , white , and blue that do the work of get away cars . the stunts they perform are equally amazing and adorable , with a ridiculously fun soundtrack by quincy jones playing in the background . it ' s improbable that they could each tote more than 300 pounds of gold , but they have been souped up by guys in matching red , white , and blue jumpsuits , so . . .
the italian job is a product of its time and , moreover , of its place . it transfers the light - hearted spirit of an era directly onto the screen , revelling in the vibrancy of early sixties culture , never failing to flash the right card in order to cash in on the mood of the era . it is rooted in an idiosyncratic ( and somewhat anachronistic ) depiction of the british nation , which encompasses everything from slapstick carry - on style humour to the class struggle ! ! ! for every scene that is timelessly cool ( most of the scenes featuring caine ) there is a counterpart that is ludicrously parochial ( all of the scenes featuring benny hill ! ) but so endearing .
there is no point in following rules to the letter , if doing so leads to the demise of the single currency . so the correct response is to allow the italian government to plump up the capital cushions of its vulnerable banks with enough public money to quell fears of a systemic crisis . such a rescue should come with conditions : an overhaul of the italian banking system that forces tiddlers to merge and slashes overheads by closing the country’s profusion of branches . to give the european bail - in directive a greater chance of being implemented in future , it should be changed so that retail investors who already hold bank bonds are explicitly shielded .
mr godwin , a father of two from godalming , wins a three - day trip to the italian city of turin , scene of the heist . ' going into competition with some scientific heavyweights , it was a surprise to win , ' he said .

fiat immediately saw the potential for product promotion in this movie , and offered an unlimited supply of fiat 500s , plus top - of - the - line lamborghinis and ferraris , plus 50 , 000 dollars , if the producers would use the italian cars instead of the minis . the minis stayed , because they were seen as quintessentially british , and one of the themes of the movie is us vs . them , i . e . britain versus the rest of europe .
beautifully shot for its time , the ( original ) italian job is a wacky caper flick that , for better or for worse , is about 50 per cent driving scenes . there are several good laughs , though , and the formula is simple . plan the heist , carry out the heist . plus , they risk a run - in with the mafia , and after glorious scenes of a ferrari driving through the alps in the opening , then being thrown off a cliff , you ' ll be hooked . the
chase
does dull the latter half of the film , but this is clearly a film that set a template , and one that ' s worth checking out . . . i admit that i ' m now curious to see the 2000s remake .
federico fellini ' s groundbreaking 1960 satire la dolce vita put italian cinema firmly on the world stage with its tale of hedonistic excess . it thrilled critics but was condemned by the vatican . here philip french explains why it is a european classic - and next week you can judge it yourself when the observer gives the film away to readers
kocourvbotach found address of the filming location the bank of the movie hold - up .
when the white mini goes over the cliff edge the rear window is already missing .
2 the film won the palme d ' or at the 1960 cannes film festival .
the plot of the italian job ? a numbskull cheesefest of a film - basically carry on car chase - is adopted by 90s office boys , born after it was made , who think of sorry old michael caine as a cop - off god and major artist , read lad - life mags , indulge in po - mo footie chat and secretly wish jamie oliver was their best mucker . you can buy the video for about 12 . 99 pounds ( though the ' director ' s cut ' costs more ) or you can take your girlfriend out for a drink . they wish !
this location was used for the scene right after the opening heist in italy . i ' m sure you ' ve always wanted to know where those luscious white mountains were right ? well , it ' s here , in alto adige , italy . it ' s where the team celebrates a job well done and shares a toast .
as is tradition the night also included the last medal ceremony as the winning athletes of the men’s marathon were honoured .
first , the coach needed to be stabilised . this involved smashing out the windows on the part of the coach overlooking the drop and smashing them inward at the front end to improve the weight ratio slightly .
according to the dvd commentary , although never formally planned , the start of the anticipated sequel resolved the cliffhanger ending of the original , by having the mafia arrive in helicopters and lifting the bus back onto the road to recover the gold ( incidentally rescuing charlie and the gang ) . the rest of the movie would then involve charlie ' s crew pulling a second heist to steal the gold back from the mafia .
the manoeuvre continues with one of the gang being lowered through the broken front windows to let down the front tyres , making the bus more stable .
practice coopers during the training for the job , charlie gets his mini drivers to practice entering the coach , using a ramp and a brick wall . two coopers were used in this scene , a red one , registration oeg 103g , and a blue one , registration wgh 415g . in the below mid - left photo , you can see the black e - type jaguar - in fact all the fast cars were parked up there .
when the police car crashes through the grating that was dropped down in front of it at the end of the tunnel , the occupants are dummies - they just bounce about in the same upright position whilst the car drives into the river .
the rsc asked for ideas to get the gold off the coach before it tips over .
location of the first and the third thumbnail is piazza san carlo ; in the first you can see the skyscraper ( just right of the centre ) from which the second thumbnail was sshot : piazza castello with the palazzo madama , and the mole antonelliana in the background .
after a gang of professional thieves succesfully rob $ 35 million in gold bars from a safe held by italian gangsters in venice , they are betrayed and left for dead by one of their ally . seeking for revenge , they plan an incredibly elaborate heist against the traitor to get the gold back .
written / executive produced by rob weiss ( hbo’s entourage , ballers ) and benjamin brand ( ifc’s bollywood hero ) and executive produced by the 2003 movie’s producer donald de line , the italian job tv series is described as a noisy , sexy , thrill - ride that follows a make - shift family of expert criminals , who are forced out of retirement when an opportunity arises to get their beloved “patriarch” out of jail . at the core of this dysfunctional family is charlie croker — played by caine and wahlberg in the movies — a handsome and charming ex - con , who tried to go straight , but like the rest of his crew , can’t resist the adrenaline rush of the high - stakes heist world . the idea is for the series to preserve the action , humor , romance and picturesque international locales from the movies .
hmp 729g , gpf 146g and lgw 809g the stars of the italian job were three mk1 austin mini cooper s ' s , in red , white and blue of course . the distinct characteristics are their unique ' moustache ' grill trim , sliding windows , external door hinges , early type boot locks , hinged number plates and hook - type door handles . at the hands of l ' equipe remy julienne ' s stunt drivers they became legends . surprisingly not many modifications were made to the cars for their jaw dropping stunts . it ' s normal for ' movie ' cars to be heavily modified to cope with the strains of stunt driving , but because the coopers were race bred , they were incredibly tough in all the right areas , as well as being extremely lightweight . the only real problem that the coopers posed the stunt drivers was the low ground clearance .
very much of its time without ever looking too dated ; the italian job embraces the classic caper set - up . take your loveable cockney rogue with a taste for life’s’ illegal finery , recently released at her majesty’s discretion but already eying another shot at the big time . add a fiendishly intricate plot to steal the city of turins’ gold supply right in the heart of its traffic - clogged centre , from under the noses of the local mafia . throw this together with some suave 60’s window dressing , memorable cameos and possibly the coolest , and most original , automotive climax in movie history and the words “classic movie” suddenly starts flashing in letters so gaudily bright that they make austin power’s entire wardrobe appear drab and grey . no wonder they wanted to cash in on a remake .
other options involve even melting the gold , using the burning of the petrol , and in a sense sucking the liquid gold towards the fugitives .
when the minis drive onto the roof of the leisure centre they are trapped - all the police had to do was block the entry / exit ramp .
apparently quincy had no job , no money and he and his wife were expecting a baby , but he was talented . so producer michael deeley brought quincy and his family over to england and set then up in a flat in marble arch and was commissioned hired .
after stealing the bullion the gang make off through a shopping mall . as the scene changes to show the minis descending a staircase it can be seen that the door of the front mini is wide open and the passenger is getting in as the car moves off . it shows that the car was stationary before the start of the shot and not actually descending the stair .
osteria les racines is another option that is highly rated on tripadvisor . they serve traditional italian dishes as well as mediterranean dishes . the restaurant is pet friendly , and will comply to those with special needs such as gluten or lactose intolerance as well as requests vegetarian or vegan .
peter collinson ' s wife , lisa shane , appeared in all his films
for luck
. in this film , she appears at the mafioso ' s dinner , as the blonde wife of the visiting american . she was called in the last minute because collinson was being sent only tall , dark italian models and he wanted
a short , blonde scrubber
