The men who BROKE the bank - and LOST the cargo!

Sir Alec Guinness received his first Oscar nomination as Best Actor for his delightful performance as Henry Holland, a meek clerk who devises an ingenious plan to rob a fortune in gold bullion from his own bank. But when Henry and his odd accomplice (Stanley Holloway of My Fair Lady fame) melt the gold into souvenir Eiffel Towers to smuggle into France, their perfect crime becomes a disastrous caper of Cocney crooks, customs chaos and an ill-timed group of British schoolgirls, all leading to some of the most hilarious and unexpected surprises in criminal history.

Sidney James (of the Carry On series) and a young Audrey Hepburn co-star in this beloved Ealing Studios hit directed by Charles Crichton (A Fish Called Wanda, The Titfield Thunderbolt) that won the 1951 Academy Award for Best Screenplay.
