Review of Topkapi (1964) by Knox M — 29 Apr 2016
This is a fun little heist film, which takes a while to engage the audience, in part because of some rather bizarre introductions. It's a parody of sorts of director Jules Dassin's original heist caper, Rififi, but the actual heist is worth waiting for, as the tension is quite.
..well, intense. A very self-conscious film, with bizarre (to modern audiences) elements that pays off in the end.
