Charlie has a "job" to do. Having just left prison, he finds one of his friends has attempted a high-risk job in Italy right under the nose of the Mafia.

Edit
Trivia BMC (British Motor Corp.), owners of the Mini, refused to donate any cars for this movie. The chief of Fiat Motors offered to donate all of the cars needed, including Fiat 500s in place of the Minis. Director Peter Collinson decided that, as it was a very British movie, the cars should be British Minis. Fiat still donated scores of cars for filming, as well as the factory grounds. The authorities refused to close the roads, but the Italian Mafia stepped in and shut whole sections of Turin down for filming. The traffic jams in this movie are real, as are people's actions during them. See more »
Goofs The bonnet of Charlie's Aston Martin is hinged at the nose of the car. When the car gets thrown off the cliff, the hinges are near the cockpit. This is because the car which was thrown off the cliff was in fact a Lancia Flavia convertible. See more »
