Same title as the Michael Caine original - but a very entertaining film it its own right. Set in Venice basically, but all sorts of hat tipping to the original without being just a remake

I seem to remember an LA-set version a few years ago with little Markie Wahlberg in the main cast.. Anybody?
This one's set in Venice? Okay.. Filthy canals and rotting buildings as the backdrop.. :grin:  I'm sure it'll be worth a watch. Is it available now?

Seems I already have it in my library but I don't recall watching it. Perhaps give it a go tonight.

There are actors in it I've liked in other films

I watched the 2003 version this afternoon. Enjoyable unbelievable light hearted romp. I'll give the 1969 version a go this evening. It has been years since I saw it and it will be interesting to see how they compare.

I didn't remember anything much of the 1969 one. For me it hadn't aged well. I did stick it out but nearly gave up on it.

Each to their own. I've watched it quite a few times over the years

 As I suspected it was the one I'd seen a few years ago but no matter. It wasn't hard to watch again.  :upvote:

I've just watched The Italian Job, a bit far fetched of course but I thoroughly enjoyed it !   :clap:
