It’s hard to express the effect this film had on a school boy back in the seventies. So much so that the school boy, who’s now in his fifties, recently visited Turin just to see the locations of the film.

This "making of" was just fantastic; I loved every minute of it! I first saw "The Italian Job" on some Saturday afternoon on TV in America in about 1979. I think I STILL remember the TV Guide description: "The Italian Job (1969) English. Fine stunt driving highlights this humorous heist yarn filmed in Turin, Italy". I thought, "hmm, sounds interesting, I guess I'll watch that". I did and found the entire movie to be very interesting, fun, and memorable. It made me a fan of Michael Caine and Minis. And some day I'd like to visit Turin, Italy. There's no one aspect of this movie that's greater than any other. All of it is well done, generally lighthearted, and lots of fun. I can easily see why it has cult status in the UK, as well it should.

WOW!!! This is fascinating. I never saw "The Italian Job" for the longest time (and I mean this original, and not the other more recent that I have never bothered with). But when it was out on DVD, I watched it for the first of many times in the 2000s. I'm never sure why I missed it on American TV / Cable over the decades. And to think that Robert Evans was so amendable and trusting to Troy Kennedy Martin's concept and not the stereotypical clueless Hollywood mohul stomping all over a British concept by fiddling with it to "Americanize" it speaks volumes of Mr. Evans wisdom. I never knew much about Mr. Evans, except I thought his skin and hair were rather strangely affected, but obviously, looks are deceiving and there is real substance behind him. To back off Robert Redford so easily and stick with Mr. Martin's concept of Michael Caine shows real intelligence. This story behind the picture shows how everyone had respect for one another, and this cooperation resulted in a classic film!

1:21:23 His wife says here that Peter Collinson died aged "not quite 41", which means that both Wikipedia and IMDb have got their dates wrong for him. They both say April 1936- Dec 1980. ie a solid 44.

Fantastic video. I can honestly say that ive grown up watching this film. I remember being knee high to a mini cooper's minilight wheel not wanting to watch when the mini's are pushed out of the coach, as even then, a mini was one of my favourite cars. Plus it was always shown on British tv at Christmas/new year, as well as The Great escape, wierdly, strange choices for tv channels to put on, given the time of year. But when there's only 3 channels to watch, as it was in the 70's its not hard to see why its so loved. Also the bit when its said that the Aston Martin was totally wrecked contradicts what other "Italian job" documentaries have said, also doesn't tally with the renowned Italian job expert Matthew Field who wrote the excellent Italian Job encyclopaedia. (its huge, size of an old atlas and ive got a copy!!) Plus according to the DVLA data base 163 ELT is still a 1962 Aston Martin with road tax paid until November this year. Lastly anybody who thinks the 2003 Italian Job rehash was a film worthy of the name doesn't have a clue, they couldn't even do the simple task of keeping the modern mini's (school buses in size comparison) colours in order throughout the film unlike the original. Long live Charlie croker!!

Culturally there is a gap as wide as the Atlantic between a film like TIJ and most American audiences, both in humour and language. Unsurprising that TIJ wasnt a success in the US - the surprise would have been if it had been a box-office success. The same is often true in reverse. Deep South accents are as undecipherable as any Cockney rhyming slang....

@adk39874 жыл бұрын
I think he was suspicious because Charlie said he hunted lions with machine gun instead of reguler gun
@snowrocket2 жыл бұрын
Charlie is not BUYING the Aston, he's paying for maintenance and storage for three years while he was in prison. He says something like, "it's been so long since I've been in this car". He makes up the excuse about the engine needing more air through the second carburetor so that he, not the garage man, can go under the hood (bonnet). Charlie then very subtly pulls out a stash of money that has been hidden in the car for three years. That way, when the man tells him the cost for getting his car out of storage, Charlie has the money to pay him. The reason the garage man seems shocked is both that Charlie can so easily pay him such a large amount, and the comment about "I used a machine gun".
