SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Another buoyant British crime farce, with Peter Sellers leading crooks into an elaborate scheme. It shares Two Way Stretch’s genial criminal camaraderie, brisk plotting and pleasure in plans going comically awry.
02
Why this pick
A sharply composed British caper about ex-servicemen assembling a seemingly foolproof robbery. Its dry humour, meticulous preparation and ensemble of rogues closely suit the appeal of Two Way Stretch.
03
Why this pick
This light British crime comedy turns ordinary people into unexpectedly resourceful thieves. Like Two Way Stretch, it treats lawbreaking as an ingenious, warmly played game rather than hard-edged crime.
04
Why this pick
A perfect fit for the cheerful, old-fashioned British criminal farce: eccentric crooks, an elaborate robbery and exquisitely escalating comic complications, delivered with darker but still playful wit.
05
Why this pick
Its charismatic team of thieves, carefully staged heist and breezy British cheek extend the same pleasure in criminal logistics and comic swagger, on a more colourful, larger-scale canvas.

01 / THE STORY
Three prisoners nearing the end of their jail sentences; 'Dodger' Lane, 'Jelly' Knight and 'Lennie the Dip', are visited by a vicar seeking to find employment for them. He is actually smooth-talking conman 'Soapy' Stevens, who proposes a large-scale diamond robbery. They will also have the ultimate alibi; they will break out of prison, commit the robbery and then break back in.
