Thirty years ago one of the most popular British films of all time was released. The Italian Job is remembered by everyone who has seen it; if not for Michael Caines unforgettable line "Youre only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" - which led to the trademark impression of him - then for the literal cliff-hanger of an ending. Consistently in the top 100 films of all time and voted fourth best British film of all time; The Italian Job story is covered here from start to finish: how it was made; by the people who made it.

So many unknown/ untrue facts and marvelous drawings.3 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Rather disappointingBy Lara Sandling-bennettThe description gave the impression this book would be more advanced in detail; documentation and descriptions or drawings. It would be a fine book for someone just starting to show interest in clothing of Medieval times (more like a book for a youth).Nothing wrong with it other than that.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Very informative and surprisingly entertainingBy The Reviewer Formerly Known as Kurt JohnsonThis large and attractive book is an excellent introduction into the medieval world of knights and castles. The book is divided into five chapters. Chapter one is entitled The Age of Chivalry discusses medieval times; and how knighthood fitted in. The second chapter; Fortress Homes; discusses how castles were built and how they worked. Chapter three; Castle Life; is all about the daily life of the castle dwellers. In chapter four; Ready For Battle; we learn about medieval warfare and weapons. And finally; in chapter five; End of an Age; we learn about the end of the world of the knights; about other knights in history; and about how the medieval world lives on in tales of chivalry.But; what makes this book so great is that it is literally chockfull with many excellent and brightly colored pictured and exploded diagrams. They really do an excellent job of bringing medieval times to life. (I especially liked the pages on medieval fashion!)This is a great book; one that I found to be very informative; and surprisingly entertaining. Its many bright pictures are excellently drawn; and deserve an award all on their own. I really enjoyed this book; and highly recommend it to anyone interesting in the medieval world!
