The Italian Job is one of the best-loved British classics ever
made. As you almost certainly already know, The Italian Job stars
Michael Caine as the criminal at the centre of the job, dubbed 'The
Italian Job'. Caine is iconic in this film; his voice and
mannerisms are often imitated, and it is this film that is probably
most responsible for that. The plot follows Charlie Croker (Caine),
a freshly released crook that, with a tip off from a deceased
friend, decides to steal £4 million from Italy. However, it's not
an easy job and there are many risks involved, so the job must be
astutely planned and flawlessly executed for it to work right - and
it is there that the film really takes off.
The Italian Job is well remembered for two things, the first of
which is the Mini's. This is the film that made Mini's cool and
there is a fair amount of stunt work involving the Mini, a lot of
which is truly spectacular - these little cars can be seen driving
up stairs, onto and across roofs, through shopping centres, flying
over various chasms etc and it's all very exciting.
The second thing that it is remembered for is, of course, the
line - "you were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!",
which is one of the most quoted of all time.
The Novel Cache series is a mixture of interesting containers
and varying sizes, some of which can accommodate small swaps and
TB's.
We hope you enjoy finding them as much as we enjoyed placing
them.
