Ratner acknowledges just one of his movie's many sources, and the casual mention of Hitchcock's beguiling comic thriller To Catch a Thief during this drivel is enough to make you spill your popcorn. www.pitch.com /issues/2004-11-11/film/review.html   (631 words)

Amazon Shopping with Shwing! - Topkapi I saw it for the first time in my teens in the early 80's on the big screen at a local art movie house that played classic films during the week, and was captivated. Sure the production values may not be fantastic, but the director has pulled all the aspects together to make a really entertaining film. Director Jules Dassin (Night and the City, The Naked City) fashioned this breezy and intricate 1964 thriller with a sly comic bent, and it enjoyed international popularity and became an influence for other high-toned European caper films. www.shwing.com /amazon/index.php?Operation=ItemLookup&ItemId=B00005PJ6Y   (1114 words)

DVD Savant Review: Topkapi This is shaping up to be a big season for caper films (Heist, the remake of Ocean's 11) so Jules Dassin's Topkapi seemed wholly appropriate. Caper films are about teamwork and cooperation, concepts hard to come by nowadays. I'd say that the film is worn, due to the nicks and scratches in the colorful twinkly titles, but Savant's never seen a better copy, so the flaws might be built-in to the title negative. www.dvdtalk.com /dvdsavant/s375topkapi.html   (533 words)

Turkish Delight “Once I’d got the form, it took a while to cast, get the cash and get approval to film inside the Topkapi Palace. When Film and Video caught up with Csáky, he was busy fronting a pitch to Channel 4 for a film about the Russian submarine Kursk, and planning a film set in the Theresienstadt concentration camp during WWII, where an opera was performed by a group of children 55 times before they were gassed. Winner of the Golden Rembrandt at IBC 2000’s Nombre D’Or Festival, and scheduled to air on BBC2 on Christmas day, this is the film Csáky values as the most adventurous and rewarding experience of a 30-year career consisting of over 100 producer/director credits, and 600 executive producer credits. www.filmandvideomagazine.com /Htm/2000/12_00/dec_issue/FeatureStories/TurkishDelight.htm   (211 words)

Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Brute Force at Epinions.com Much of the Dassin legend derives from the meticulous filming of the heist in "Rififi" and the best part of "Topkapi" is similarly the break-in rather than the development of the motley group of characters. I was underwhelmed by the "legendary" 1947 prison movie "Brute Force," directed by the "legendary" director Jules Dassin, who was blacklisted in Hollywood a few years later and went to Europe to make some critically acclaimed films. It may not be possible to expand the pantheon rather than replace busts, but I have seen a number of Jules Dassin films over the course of the last year, and not been very impressed: www.epinions.com /content_100513517188   (1135 words)

The DVD Maniacs - Forum - Jules Dassin and his films I think that Jules Dassin's "Rififi" is a magnificent film, and a near perfect film-noir, which is why I decided to give "Topkapi" a chance, sight unseen. I just recently ordered the DVD of Jules Dassin's "Topkapi", and I was wondering what you guys thought of this film, and the other films of his that are out on DVD, such as "The Law", "Naked City" and "Brute Force"? Never on Sunday is another good Dassin film with good performances and some funny moments to boot. www.dvdmaniacs.net /forums/printthread.php?t=4111   (371 words)
