1969 classic version with Michael Caine. Wonderful crime caper following the gold robbery and ensuing car chase involving those Mini Coopers. Yeah… DVD R2 (Nairobi) Colour ****

Ok. Watched this in Nairobi on a laptop with the other people in the guest house. Entertaining enough romcom following Bridget Jones as she falls in love etc. Has the usual ‘working title’ conventions such as christmas, awkward english types and of course Hugh Grant. DVD R2 (Nairobi) Colour ***
