Note de GJF118
Like other reviewers here, I have always wondered why this wonderful film has been forgotten. Not only is it a great parody of the 'anatomy of a crime' films that were popular in the 1960's, it showcases some marvelous comedy talent. One little quibble: the title is a misnomer; the conspirators do NOT break into the US Mint. They break into the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing (the facility in Washington, DC which prints our paper currency).
I just saw this film over the past weekend for the first time in many, many years, and was pleasantly surprised to see it hold up, but perhaps not as it was originally intended. Instead of watching it as a gothic horror film, I saw it as a very campy film with unintentionally hysterical moments throughout. (I normally watch older films and try to accept them on their own terms, but this one seems to be beg to be taken this way.) Definitely a fun film to watch, complete with several plot twists along the way.
This film was actually an outgrowth from a story on the TV show "60 Minutes" which followed a high-speed tour through tourist highlights in Europe. The humor holds up very well, and the film now provides a wonderful chance to see some marvelous character actors from the mid-1960's back when they were still in their prime.
