Additional Information
Five years after directing the heist classic RIFIFI, Jules Dassin returns to robbery with TOPKAPI. Again there is a long and daring break-in, as his heroes attempt to steal the priceless Emerald Dagger from the Topkapi Palace Museum in Istanbul, but in contrast to the bleak RIFIFI, the mood in TOPKAPI is one of comedy. Dassin focuses on the bumbling Arthur Simpson (Peter Ustinov), who barely makes a living conning tourists. Arthur thinks he's struck it rich when Elizabeth Lipp (Melina Mercouri) and her lover Walter (Maximilian Schell) respond to his pitch--not realizing they picked him. They persuade Arthur to drive across the Greek-Turkish border. When the Turkish police find arms in the car, they believe they have uncovered a terrorist plot. They only release Arthur after he agrees to spy for them. Elizabeth and Walter plan their robbery, while Arthur is drawn ever further out of his depth, as he looks for evidence of terrorism. Mercouri and Schell handle the planning; Ustinov, Robert Morley as the eccentric Cedric, and Akim Tamiroff as a dipsomaniac cook, handle the comedy; the Turkish scenery is beautiful, and Manos Hadjidakis contributes a sprightly score--the result is a light and airy comedy.

    Excellent Film; Good Quality DvD

    I have been experimenting with buying used dvds, which have proved to be excellent value for money. The quality is remarkable for the price, which is usually very much less than a new copy. As to this film, I had forgotten just how good it is. Peter Ustinov’s performance is thoroughly deserving of the academy award he earned.

    Topkapi - a brilliant template for movie

    I like that it's a DVD rather than VHS obviously. TOPKAPI is an old film, from my childhood, loved it then and love it now. It is the template for many robbery/heist style movies, which I love. Watch it and see :-)

    Topkapi

    Brilliant, though now a little dated, Jules Dassin 1964 comedy-thriller about a bunch of colourful characters planning an ingenious robbery at Istanbul's Topkapi museum. Their target is a bejewelled dagger and the actual theft is done with nailbiting expertise. Maximilian Schell and Melina Mercouri head the cast but it was the wonderful Peter Ustinov, as a nervous sidekick, who won an Oscar.
