फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
Honestly, I can't remember anything about 'The Burglars', which I saw once, in about 1989, other than the fact that it has the most amazing car chase I've ever seen. I remember thinking the stunt drivers must have been madmen. No special effects, slow-motion or anything; just insane high speed driving through the streets of Athens. Steven Spielberg is supposed to have said that 'The Castle of Cagliostro' had the best car chase ever filmed. I guess he can't have seen this one. Honestly, it's just nuts.
As for the rest of the film, I don't remember, and frankly, who cares. If I ever track down another copy, it'll only be for one reason (and BTW, I'm not a car-chase, or even action-film buff. I mean, I thought 'Gone in 60 seconds' was as boring as dirt, as well as being utterly stupid. But I will always make room for the best example of any genre, and if car-chases were a genre, this would be my pick)
Well, that wan't much of a review, was it? But from what I remember, it wasn't much of a movie except for the... yeah, yeah, OK: you get the idea by now.
As a complete contrast, in this later version from Henri Verneuil, glitz replaces grit and Vahé Katcha's dialogue is infinitely more prosaic.
Verneuil and Jean-Paul Belmondo had made their first film together in 1962 and nine years later they are on their fourth. It is essentially a comic book treatment which enables its star to do what his legion of fans adore which is to perform well choreographed, daredevil stunts and beat people up whilst keeping his tongue firmly in his cheek. We also have an obligatory girlie show and a car chase that goes on and on and on.......
The most interesting feature here is the dynamic between Belmondo as the thief and Omar Sharif as the crooked cop. Sharif invests a nasty piece of work with his immense charm and his French is impeccable.
Although technically proficient, this mucho macho nonsense is now very much a period piece which has not dated well and reminds us that Verneuil was the most American of French directors. American cinema basically fulfills the need to be distracted and here Verneuil has delivered two hours of total distraction.
If you are looking for a good 70's action fun, with some nice exotic places, with great car chase and good cast, go a head try it!
क्या आपको पता है
- ट्रिवियाJean-Paul Belmondo did most of his own stunts.
- गूफ़The car chase begins in a parking lot, where no cars are hit. But immediately after leaving the parking lot and taking to the streets, the red car shows signs of damage on the front and sides. So, some of the car chase scenes are shown out of sequence. Also, at the end of the chase there are differences in the damage to the front of the car from when it comes to a stop and in the last shot when a headlight falls off - most notably the bumper has become detached on one side.

Abel Zacharia: I chase petty crooks like you. I take all those risks for $300 a month. Don't you find that outrageous?
Azad: You have fringe benefits. You race around in your car. You sit at whatever table you want. You don't pay in restaurants. It all adds up.
