Topkapi

A "skillful blend of romance and comedy" (The Hollywood Reporter), Topgapi shimmers with hilarity, action and great performances!Fun-filled and suspenseful, it's "an incredibly ingenious affair [and] a considerable pleasure to watch" (Newsweek)!

Trouble brews beneath the exotically curved towers of Istanbul when the equally exotic - and equally curved - Elizabeth Lipp (Melina Mercouri) recruits her former lover (Maximilian Schell) in a scheme to heist the pride of the city's Topkapi museum: a jewel-encrusted dagger.But the "job" soon turns into a high-tension, high-wire performance - literally - when the bumbling fall guy (Peter Ustinov) and other amateurs they've hired as help find they'll have to lift their prize while dangling from the museum's vaulted ceiling!
