Top Crack (1967) User Reviews

An underrated movie that has a fun plot but a bit confusing if you don't understand the language

[notnamjin · 9/10 · 21 April 2022]

This will be my first review in imdb since this is one of my fav underrated Italian comedy crime movie in the year 1967

The film is really fun to watch and reading about the plot before I got to watch it was so interesting! Sadly I wasn't really a fan with the camerawork in the movie but overall it was so fun to watch with some funny moments

Do wish there's a chance to watch the original version which is the Italian since the one I watched was a German dubbed version.

I also do wish this movie have a dvd or like blueray soon and maybe could appear on streaming sites if possible :)

Terry-Thomas is at it again!

From my database of 5,500+ capsule reviews of cult movies Top Crack (1966, ITA) C-91m. *** D: Mario Russo.

Starring Terry-Thomas, Gastone Moschin, Didier Haudepin, Victor Francen, Mirella Maravidi, Oreste Lionello, Christiane Maybach.

Amusing crime comedy about partners Thomas and Moschin, who plan to kidnap the patriarch (Francen) of a rich industrialist family, who specialize in artificial eggs(!). When they realize that the family don't want him back, they need to change their plans. Also featured in the plot is a gang of children led by Top Crack (Haudepin), who has a score to settle with the kidnappers. Not consistently funny, but filled with mad-cap scenes and great performances. Engaging soundtrack by Gianni Marchetti is firmly rooted in the Swinging 60s. Francen's last film, and he almost steals it. The rarest title in cult star Terry-Thomas' filmography. This only saw a video release in Germany in the 1980s.
