Sid James triple. In 'The Big Job' (1965), a gang of hapless crooks
successfully perpetrate a robbery only to be caught after the fact.
Fifteen years later they emerge from prison intent on retrieving
their stolen loot - and discover that a police station has been
built over its hiding place. Sylvia Syms, Dick Emery, Jim Dale and
Joan Sims co-star. In 'Make Mine a Milluion' (1959), an ad-man
teams up with a make-up artist in a cunning plot to advertise Bonko
detergent on non-commercial television. Despite the trouble it
causes, the plan proves a great success and the two chaps soon set
up a pirate television station with the intention of beaming their
advertisements into other company's TV shows. Again the idea proves
successful - but just how long can these two go on avoiding their
come-uppance? 'The Lavender Hill Mob' (1951) is a classic Ealing
comedy. Nobody would ever suspect gold bullion delivery man Henry
Holland (Alec Guinness) of anything other than total devotion to
his job. However, with the aid of fellow lodger Pendlebury (Stanley
Holloway), he gathers together a gang to carry out a heist,
intending to smuggle the gold out of the country by melting it down
into miniature models of the Eiffel Tower. All goes well until the
consignment of models becomes muddled up with another, non-golden
batch. Watch out for an early cameo by Audrey Hepburn.
