Big Deal on Madonna Street Movie Review 1958

Peppe (Gassman) is a bungling thief who leads a band of equally inept crooks who plan to make themselves very rich when they attempt to rob a jewelry store on Madonna Street. Their elaborate plans cause numerous (and hilarious) disasters. Italian with subtitles. Remade in 1984 as "Crackers."
