What Movies Have Been Playing On Your DVD/Video Lately?
Too Many Crooks is about this gang of robbers, headed by George Cole and Sid James who have a habit of botching up robberies. Anyhow they target a wealthy business man, Terry Thomas, and plan to kidnap his daughter, but instead mistakedly kidnap his wife. When he refuses to pay any ransome, from £10,000 to less than £200.00 and says that they can keep his wife instead, his wife takes over as leader of the gang and gets all his money. Great comedy. 

Gray, I love every film Ellie is in
but I Dood It is not Ellies finest moment, as her MGM career was coming to an end at this time, and in this film they used some of Ellie's dances from earlier MGM film's, which is a bit of a swizz.

I was alarmed when I noted that the running time of AUSTRALIA was 165 minutes. So just before I played the DVD, I made myself a cup of strong black coffee. However the 2 leads Nicole Kidman & Hugh Jackman were so charismatic that I finished the movie without drinking a sip. May I recommend this epic to everyone......it's a great entertaining movie!
