i see alot of movie at the cinema ( 103 so far this year ) and i have to say that this be by far and away the best film i have see this year and even though it be release back in 1954. i sit in awe and watch this work of genius and felt quite ashamed that i have never even heard of it before my local art house cinema decide to show it for a week on what look like a new print . the best part of the whole movie have to be the 28 minute break in where there be no speech and no music and merely the sound of the men carry out the heist . pure quality . although really dark in place it be lighten with the dry humour . not many film score positive but this do and also get a gold star for effort . if you ever get a chance to see this movie and please do not hesitate and it a classic . .
