THE ITALIAN JOB
(1969)

Popular British movie, written by Troy Kennedy-Martin - with familiar faces such as Michael Caine at his chirpy best, Noel Coward as a master crim, and Benny Hill playing to type. Look out, also, for a very young Robert Powell as Yellow.

A gang of British crooks try to put one over their Italian foes, while the England football team are playing Italy in Turin, and hoping the police will be distracted.

Good songs, too, as this soundtrack CD track listing indicates:

1. The Italian Job
2. Something's Cookin'
3. Hello Mrs. Beckerman!
4. Britannia And Mr Bridger, if you please
5. Trouble For Charlie
6. On Days Like These
7. It's Caper Time
8. Meanwhile Back In The Mafia
9. Smell The Gold!
10. Greensleeves And All The Jazz
11. On Days Like These (Reprise)
12. Getta Bloomin' Move On!
