The legendary 1960s movie classic The Italian Job is returning to cinemas this summer to celebrate its 50th anniversary. The Michael Caine-led movie turns half a century in 2019 having first hit cinemas in the summer of ’69.

Fresh out of prison, petty criminal Charlie Crocker (Michael Caine) has the plans for the ultimate heist – a four-million-dollar bullion robbery from an armoured car in Turin – fall into his lap. Turning to an old prison enemy for help backing the scheme, Charlie suripsingly receives the veteran convict’s support and goes about organising a motley group of thieves to pull off the plan.

The film also stars Noel Coward, Benny Hill, Raf Vallone, Tony Beckley, Rossano Brazzi, Irene Handl, Margaret Blye, and John Le Mesurier.
The film is an absolute classic and if you’ve not had the opportunity to see it on the big screen, June 16th will be your opportunity in cinemas across the UK – that date also just happens to be Father’s Day too.
Here’s the original trailer for the movie. Love this one so much.
