"The Italian Job" is an enjoyable caper film with fast pacing (there are almost no dead spots), good car stunts, OK performances and a unique, hard-to-forget ending. But many of the scenes involving Noel Coward supposedly planning the whole "job" from inside the jail are laughable (they're just too far-fetched to be accepted as satire of any kind) and the chase goes on perhaps a bit too long. Still, the film is much better than "Dollars" or "How to Steal a Million". (**1/2)
