This movie is NOT available on DVD.
Two brothers looking to avoid becoming pawns of the establishment come up with a better way of making a living -- through theft -- in this satiric comedy. David Tremayne (Oliver Reed) is a successful London architect, and his younger brother Michael (Michael Crawford) is weighing his options after being kicked out of school. The brothers share a bemused disgust with the world around them and a desire to get through life without the burden of labor; toward this end, one day they begin plotting an elaborate scheme to steal the British Crown Jewels.
Written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais
Hey, thanks. I remember really liking this back in those days. I couldn't even find it on amazon (!) I remember they stole the crown jewels and read in the paper the royals had cut their weekend short, and these two naughties said, "Oh, we've ruined their weekend." Thanks again--this is what is great about the internet--you can literally find anything.
