One of the quintessential British movies of all time. The cast is perfect (Noel Coward and Michael Caine especially), the chases are great fun and the dialogue hilarious. Can't be anything but highly recommended from me.

It's the only film I can think of that actually revels in being British (apart from the Bond films I suppose, but that's different). I love the film, but am curious to know how it plays to a non-Brit audience.

Overrated and slightly dated, but still a pretty decent piece of 60's cinema pop culture. For my money though it's The Ipcress File if you want Michale Caine at his best in the 60's or at time in his career.

I like this picture; it's a lot of fun.  Very stylish.  I'm sure a lot of it was lost on me, not being a Brit.

Recommended.
