Just a word about THE ITALIAN JOB. Veddy, veddy British in tone and texture - droll, wry, fun. The chase that concludes the picture was staged obviously to out-do the one in BULLIT, but, of course, it was outdone by the ones in DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER and THE FRENCH CONNECTION. Nice little twist ending. Glad I've finally seen it.
Next one up to bat: MR. BLANDINGS BUILDS HIS DREAM HOUSE which I hope won't take me two weeks to watch like THE ITALIAN JOB did.
