    An Italian Classic
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2024*

This a hilarious film that has aged extremely well. Not dated at all.  Imagine the Three Stooges meet Oceans 11.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A Witty Spoof on a Previous Serious Film
  

*by M***H on Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2011*

In order to fully appreciate the wit in this film it would be a good idea to have viewed Rififi des Hommes first.  Many elements of Rififi have been masterly "borrowed" and adapted with great success to a really funny film.  From a child being included to the services of a master safe cracker, from the empty adjoining property to the proposed heist's location, to the black and white format.  But what an amazing result.  Just to see a young and impossibly handsome Vittorio Gassman and Marcello Mastroianni to the hilarious Toto as the master safe cracker who in this case sells his tools and advice but does not participate in the proposed heist.  If you wish a good heartfelt laugh this is the film to watch, all the more so if you are fluent in Italian, but the subtitles suffice.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Big Deal a bigger deal than remake Crackers (which ain’t sayin’ much)
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2023*

I should admit immediately I was affected/distracted by the fast paced, Italian dialogue and my attempt to keep up with the subtitles was a bit of a task.There are without a doubt some good performers in Big Deal On Madonna Street (1958) led by Vittorio Gassman (Sharkey’s Machine) and the highly regarded Marcello Mastroianni.Also acquitting himself very well is Renato Salvatori—reminding me of Russ Tamblyn—as Mario who has the good sense and pleasure of pursuing the young and lovely Claudia Cardinale in the movie.  Some humor here is Mario’s attention to robbery detail may not be as enthusiastic as his attention to Carmela (Cardinale).  Plus, her brother is also involved in the caper.  She is not.Veteran Italian comedian Toto is good for a laugh—and the small thin, old man of the crew sure has an appetite.  Always eating!  He sets a quick table too.  Ha ha (in movie).Anyways,  Mario Monicelli Directed and co-authored Big Deal On Madonna Street giving the film a stark black and white, poverty stricken look yet the characters really don’t complain about being poor.  But, they need money, so, the safe they heard is easy pickings deserves to be there’s.  They just need to do this and this and the other thing, and oh yeah, anybody know a safecracker?  Without blowing it up?That’s the extent of the humor basically.  I guess it is kind of cute (amongst their poverty) but it’s really not all that funny.Criterion DVD offers a New Digital Transfer. It does look good (think/see Bicycle Thief comparison).  Big Deal got immediate cred’ for downplaying (satirizing?) the much more serious, John Huston robbery noir thriller The Asphalt Jungle.Yeah ok!I did like The Madonna Street caper a bit more than the agreeable-flat remake Crackers.That’s not saying muchBig Deal Madonna Street3.7 stars
