The Italian Job (charity event) The Italian Job (charity event) The Italian Job is an annual fundraising event, inspired by the original 1969 film The Italian Job, starring Michael Caine and Noël Coward. The run takes place during late October and early November, and involves Minis and other cars driving from the UK to northern Italy and back. A wide variety of Minis have participated in this modern-day self-preservation society, ranging from models built as early as 1959, the first year of production of the Mini, to brand new BMW MINIs, via derivatives such as the Innocenti, Mini Moke, Mini Marcos, Domino and many more.
The Italian Job (2003 film) surprise, and top with a sprinkling of panache." "Variety"s Robert Koehler compared "The Italian Job" to "The Score" (2001), another "finely tuned heist pic" which also featured Edward Norton in a similar role. David Denby, writing for "The New Yorker", praised Norton's performance, as well as those of Seth Green and Mos Def, and the lack of digital effects in the action sequences. Owen Gleiberman of "Entertainment Weekly" gave the film a B− grade, comparing it positively to the 2000 remake of "Gone in 60 Seconds", as well as the 2001 remake of "Ocean's Eleven".
