A concise introduction to the genre about that one last big score,
The Heist Film: Stealing With Style traces this crime thriller's
development as both a dramatic and comic vehicle growing out of
film noir (Criss Cross, The Killers, The Asphalt Jungle), mutating
into sleek capers in the 1960s (Ocean's Eleven, Gambit, How to
Steal a Million) and splashing across screens in the 2000s in
remake after remake (The Thomas Crown Affair, The Italian Job, The
Good Thief). Built around a series of case studies (Rififi, Bob le
Flambeur, The Killing, The Lavender Hill Mob, The Getaway, the
Ocean's trilogy), this volume explores why directors of such varied
backgrounds, from studio regulars (Siodmak, Crichton, Siegel, Walsh
and Wise) to independents (Anderson, Fuller, Kubrick, Ritchie and
Soderbergh), are so drawn to this popular genre.
