Scr: Troy Kennedy Martin; dir: Peter Collinson; w/ Michael Caine, Noël Coward, Maggie Blye, Benny Hill, Tony Beckley, Stanley Caine.

Film Independent at LACMA concludes its centennial salute to Paramount Pictures with two stylish crime classics starring Michael Caine.

In The Italian Job, a dapper Caine leads a band of cockney hoods in trying to pull off an armored-car heist in the busy streets of Turin. Shot by Douglas Slocombe (The Servant, The Music Lovers) and purring to a suave Quincy Jones score, The Italian Job is the apex of 1960s cool.
