Good movie in which a group of jewel thieves make use of a petty criminal. Entertaining characters and an entertaining cast. Especially in the beginning some nice dialogues and the Istanbul of the 60s forms a nice backdrop. The heist itself takes up a large part of the film and is exciting at times.

Very good heist film that alternates clever adventure and comedy. Airy, funny, exciting, relaxing... doesn't feel dated either. A band of thieves, led by a Swiss man and his mistress, set out to steal Sultan Mahmud's emerald dagger from the high-security Topkapi Museum. They also use a wimpy crook for (Ustinov) who will eventually get completely involved in the plan. Between 3.5* and 4* and highly recommended.
