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

All Critics (2) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (1)
Uneven slapstick Brit comedy that is sometimes funny if you have a taste for the humor of Terry-Thomas.
Um elenco afinadíssimo, no qual se destacam Terry-Thomas, Cole e Bresslaw, mantém esta típica comédia britânica funcionando quase 50 anos depois.
