Storyline

The crooks in London know how it works. No one carries guns and no one resists the police. Then a new gang appears that goes one better. They dress as Police Officers and steal from the crooks. This upset's the natural order of the Police/criminal relationship, and the Police and the crooks join forces to catch the impersonating Police Officers, including an armored car robbery in which the Police must help the gangs to set a trap.—John Vogel

Short Review

This comedy is a straightforward goofball heist movie, complete with Peter Sellers doing multiple accents and a "why the heck not" ending. It's a fun, often nonsensical cops-and-robbers romp through London, each character as incompetent as the next. There's not a whole lot of silliness, surprisingly, despite its goofball tone, so the overall effect is a bit dry and stilted. It would have done better to go all in on the gimmick, but as it is it's just pretty good.Closest comparison: It's like the Pink Panther (1963) by way of Funeral in Berlin.Setting: CrimePlot: HeistTone: Comedy
