The Break-in of the Century
by aeolianknight2003-03-29
10/10

"I had seen "I Soliti Ignoti" a long time ago and I can't say that I remembered it well. But thanks the the Criterion Collection I came across it on DVD and have to say that it's one of the funniest films that I have ever seen. A bunch of amateurish bunglers believing themselves to be capable thieves attempt a break-in of hilarious proportions. Gassman shines as Peppe the improvised leader of the pack, as these "Usual Suspects" move from one mishap to another. Miss. Cardinale adds some real eye candy, as usual. SEE IT!!!!!!!..."
