Default Too Many Crooks (1959)

One of the funniest British films ever made.

Superb performances from George Cole, Terry-Thomas, Bernard Bresslaw, Sid James and John Le Mesurier amongst a great cast packed with many well known faces.
George Cole plays the inept con "Fingers" to perfection and the dialogue between him and Terry-Thomas is hillarious.
Bernard Bresslaw is at his very best as the dopey "Snowdrop".
A wonderful script.

No matter how many times I watch this film I cannot help but laugh out loud at the exploits of these villianous characters.

I rate this film five stars.

Dave.
