on Aug 2, 2010 From The Stop Button

What a strange film. I’d never really heard of it, past the title, so… I didn’t know what to expect, but even if I’d known something about it, I doubt I could have expected it. Collinson is a fantastic Panavision director, so the Italian Job is always watchable, even through ... Read full article

Facts about The Italian Job

Director Peter Collinson's wife, Hazel, appeared in all his films "for luck". In this film she appears at the Mafiosos' 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". Also, when Croker is getting out his equipment from under the bed after he leaves prison, he calls the rope and grappling hook "Hazel."
The coach used in the film was a Bedford VAL with Harrington Legionaire bodywork.
Noel Coward was not in good health and had a hard time learning lines for the movie, so his longtime companion/partner Graham Payn had a cameo role as Bridger's assistant so he could be on hand to help with any problems.
