Trivia
Oscar-winning actor Helen Mirren lambasted director Michael Winner in a TV interview for allegedly treating her "like a piece of meat" during a casting session for this film in 1964. Recalling the encounter, she said that he ordered her to turn around and flaunt her body for him. "I was mortified and incredibly angry. I thought it was insulting and sexist, and I don't think any actress should be treated like that, like a piece of meat, at all. I was so angry. I still am." Winner has defended his actions, saying: "I did indeed ask her to stand up. I don't remember asking her to turn around but if I did, I wasn't being serious. I can see it now. She was wearing a peasant blouse and a skirt in the photographs, with enormous bosoms which were sagging a bit even though she was young."

Errores
When the famous Lutine bell is stolen, the officers at HQ describe it as weighing about a hundred pounds, and difficult, but not impossible, for a man to move around. Yet in the scene at the finish line, there's a brief shot of Poppy Pennington (Tracy Reed), herself probably not much more than that weight, scooping it up effortlessly in the scramble.

It Reeks Of The 1960's And A Bygone Era

The film begins with the superb opening credits by Bob Godfrey, and a Mona Lisa start which is not unlike (and predates) Terry Gilliam, and sets one up for a light hearted typical British affair. It frequently uses the streets of London as a backdrop and is filled with some marvellous cameo roles by numerous character actors. They seem to be all here.

There are quite a few memorable roles but accolades go to Terry Thomas, Lionel Jeffries (that's a first for me), and Denholm Elliot glides through his performance with aplomb. Of course the plot is ridiculous, and the film is not a gem, but I was delighted to catch this film. I even laughed during the film. There's a little bit of 60's saucyness, pop references (The Cavemen), sending up of the upper classes, the obligatory (largely unknown) Amercan actor and cuts that are pure 1960's.

It's not a Carry On film, it's much better, and if you like black & white British 1960's movies and the (now lost) actors from then, you will not be disappointed.
