Thought by many to be the inspiration for the TV series 'Mission: Impossible', Jules Dassin's comedy-thriller follows a group of art thieves as they plot and plan to rob a jewelled dagger from the fortress-like Topkapi Palace museum in sun-soaked Istanbul. With an international cast and a screenplay written by ex-Ealing stalwart Monja Danischewsky, 'Topkapi' is one of the great comic-exotic heist movies.
