One of the reasons to watch this film is certainly the fact that estheetically it captures the 60s perfectly. The film itself is a traditional caper movie. The caper itself is fairly unspectacular and it takes a while for the film to gain momentum. Essentially it's a poor man's Ocean's 11. Towards the end it gets more an more suspenseful as the plan seems to be perfect and you are curious about how and why it will go wrong in the end - which was part of the caper film formula at the time. Some performances are really great and make the film a joy to watch. All in all not the worst way to spend an evening,

Italian cinema has deeply influenced world cinema through its socially conscious realism and modernist experimentation, but it also flourished in popular genres like peplum (sword & sandal), giallo thrillers, and broad comedies. Its narratives often weave together politics, contemporary social change, class consciousness, and family dynamics, balancing artistic ambition with entertainment that resonated widely.

The crime genre features criminal activities, investigations, law enforcement, crimes, and the pursuit of justice. Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.
