A film me and family watched when i was a child back in the early 1980's when Video was approaching Puberty.
To my knowledge it has only ever been shown on British Terrestial TV Once (unsure about satellite channels !!)
Mum recorded and we 3 kids(3 more came along and they have never seen this film we older ones talk about )wore the tape out - it was played again and again and again.
To this day i was still humming the theme tune and was delighted to find it on tape and bought it straight away.
For me i was 12 again - i got the same feelings i got when i saw star wars I again at the cinema again a few years ago
David Niven is a charm to watch as are Jean Paul Bemondo, Bourvil and Eli Wallach.
To cut a long story short a Train robbery,a Beautiful lady whose brother runs the local mafia, a great car chase involving the smaller Statue et liberte and a man whose brain is so large it cause s his head to tilt at times of anxiety and 2 small time thieves who embark on the same job after stealing the plans, the support actors play their parts great and its a film full of laughs
For a plot, good story, some great comedy acting - see this movie - As the song says "they call him the brain the fabulous brain, for stealing a heart while robbing a train!
One of my favourite films of all times and its a shame its never shown !
