Topkapi - Movies

Topkapi

Who Stars in the Movie:
Maximillian Schell, Robert Morley, Peter Ustinov

Movie Directed by:
Jules Dassin, 1964

What's the movie about:
Topkapi is a very elaborate and enjoyable heist movie
about a plot to steal an emorald encrusted dagger from
the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul. The gang of crooks is
lead by Maximillian Schell with Robert Morley and Peter
Ustinov providing the light relief. Peter Ustinov won
an Oscar for his perfomance as a snivelling Greek guide
in this movie. Also although this movie is from the 1960's
you can see where some of the ideas for the mission
impossible movie with Tom Cruise came from.
