A charming adventurous comedy, a magnificent hilarious tape, explosive laughter, a ridiculous story to the point of colic - for this magnificent film even really and do not know what epithets exactly you can pick up!
Incredibly funny, funny, touching and entertaining at the same time the story of the four idiot thieves, whose object of hunting are not gold, money, jewelry, diamonds - but mink coats!, magnificently performed by the brilliant acting quartet Terry-Thomas, Efin Sayler, Hattie Jacques and Elspeth Duxbury!
With an incredibly original and rather intriguing plot, the cliches and nuances of British criminal comedy, a sea of humor, “criminal” curiosities, sparkling dialogues, absurd and stupid situations are wonderfully played here, a shaft of subtle pirouettes of positions and characters cause only one reaction - loud and honest audience laughter, and there are no idiotic jokes, hackneyed phrases - the dialogues here are probably not masterpieces, but in any case they are honest, sincere and absolutely successfully approach every situation in the tape.
Robert Asher, whose work this became the second film in his career, the future, later one of the leading comediographers of Britain and the apologist of a series of comedies about the walk of Mr. Pitkin, did not lose out at all, inviting the popular then Terry-Thomas, kindly characterized by many critics as a “rare-tooth clown”, he so well and harmoniously fit into the quartet, and in general in the film itself, that together, although not star but very good actors, he created a very, I would note a stunningly funny, funny, sparkling, fun spectacle, which looks!
