Movie Info

An uneven but at times hilarious slapstick comedy, Too Many Crooks features an inept gang of four would-be criminals who manage to botch every job they plan. After a few dismal failures they try to rob the wealthy, philandering Billy Gordon (Terry-Thomas) and fail again. Unwilling to let go of a good resource when they see it, the gang decides to kidnap his daughter, drug her, put her in a coffin in a hearse, and take off to their safe hideaway in a mad, mad dash. The plan amazingly succeeds

Uneven slapstick Brit comedy that is sometimes funny if you have a taste for the humor of Terry-Thomas.

Um elenco afinad�ssimo, no qual se destacam Terry-Thomas, Cole e Bresslaw, mant�m esta t�pica com�dia brit�nica funcionando quase 50 anos depois.

Brilliant Film. Don't expect a hollywood blockbuster. It's more subtle and worthy than that. It had me in stitches at points, and Terry-Thomas is brilliant.
