Maybe not one of the top drawer Ealing comedies but it's very close. The simple plot involves a bank clerk joining two criminals and a neighbour in stealing a large amount of gold bullion and then smuggling the gold to France, for laundering, in the shape of Eiffel Tower souvenirs. Of course nothing goes to plan and high-jinx ensue. A very low rooftop chase in a police exhibition is one of the many highlights.
