Oliver Reed and Michael Crawford are upper class brothers who are bored by their everyday pampered existence, with Crawford resentful as he's always in his brother's shadow. After another escapade goes wrong due to his brother Crawford is cashiered from the army and wondering where his life should take him they decide to steal the crown jewels to gain themselves some self publicity.A rarity from a time long ago when Michael Winner actually knew how to direct a film! The usual lightweight 60's film, style over substance, but enjoyable and entertaining fluff. Mainly due to lots of swinging London and a wonderfully script by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais.
