OK, so maybe Michael Winner got a bit carried away with the poster claiming this as exciting as "Topkapi" (1964) but it is still quite an entertaining crime caper to watch. Michael Crawford is "Michael", dragooned from his army regiment - it turns out he has rather a habit of being kicked out of things. He unites with his successful, raffish, brother "David" (Oliver Reed) and the pair decide on some sort of spectacular revenge. What to do, though? Well a visit to the Tower of London soon settles that. Crawford sets up a false identity as an Irish bomber and they gradually create a pretty effective degree of panic amongst the establishment as they cannibalise coffee pots and the like into makeshift explosive devices... When their real crime comes along, the crowing glory of their plan is accomplished. They had planned to return their ill-gotten loot, but at this point the brothers deviate from their plan - "Michael" neglects to follow through with certain aspects of their deal leaving poor old "David" high and dry, and in the clink! An efficient supporting cast - Harry Andrews, Sir Michael Hordern, Daniel Massey and James Donald along with a fast moving, quite humorous, script from writers Ian La Frenais and Dick Clement (who went on to write the classic BBC sitcom "Porridge" in 1974) makes this a better effort than I expected it to be. Reed and Crawford work well together, and it's just good fun.
