Here is a madcap comedy heist film that differs from the usual stories we are used to. First of all it stars Alec Guinness as an English foundry worker and the mastermind behind a gold heist. Except he is far from the criminal type (more of an English gentlemen actually) and so his attempt to snag t read more

It’s beyond me how a film about a man who is all but paralyzed, except for his left eye, could be interesting.
