A classic - why never repeated??
7 April 2007
Yes, like the other reviewers here I too saw this film as a kid when it was shown on one of those late night BBC2 (probably) foreign film seasons. As the film was made in 1976, this showing must have been 25-30 years ago now and as it has never - to my knowledge - been repeated in the UK, what does it tell you about how good the visual gags were that I can still remember some of them to this day.. Right from the start there is a race between the newly crippled crooks when they leave hospital - very little dialogue but none necessary: priceless, and very black. I always keep a lookout for one-offs and classics that have impressed me down the years and am so pleased to see this become available again - cant wait to see it.
