TOPKAPI (1964) @ Cleveland Cinematheque / Home Bistro
Details
A gang of jewel thieves plans to steal an emerald-encrusted dagger from Istanbul’s Topkapi Palace.
“It was shot on location in Istanbul, and it offered superb suspense and an exceptional cast, including Peter Ustinov (who won an Oscar), Robert Morley, and Maximilian Schell.” - Encyclopedia Britannica
“Mission: Impossible, the Pink Panther, and Ocean's Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen all owe their jokey breeziness to [director] Dassin and his merry band, although few have bettered them.” - The Guardian
