Movie Reviews of Topkapi
Movie Review: Fun and quality
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very delightful film. First, the enormous sex appeal of Melina Mercouri, her lovely and endearing smile, and those eyes... Then, of course, her partner, Maximilian Schell, in a role that resembles so much his own life (as bon vivant, not as a thief, or course) and last, but not least, the wonderful Peter Ustinov. Each comedy he plays he gives us the gift of his extraordinary talent as comediant. He is elegant,with thousand faces, ductil, he is a chamaeleon who can play any role he wants. All his misfortunes are ours in this film, achieved through his mastery in acting. I do recommend this film as a must.

Movie Review: rififi....
Summary: 5 Stars
A band of thieves, assembled by a deliciously intent Mercouri, attempts to steal a fabulous emerald-encrusted dagger from the Topkapi Palace Museum in Istanbul. The utimate theft is depicted in a long sequence reminiscent of his earlier heist scene-but this time with considerably more levity. Dassin assembled a flawless cast of charming rogues and charlatans, including Peter Ustinov in an especially humorous performance that earned him the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. If you are not a WT, then it is a very nice movie for you....Movie Review: DVD Widescreen Transfer Is Perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
I must elaborate more on the reviewer who said that the transfer to DVD looked like it had been dragged through a vat of mud. I had the movie on VHS tape and knew what to expect of it. The reviewer may have only noted the first 6-7 minutes of the movie which I would call a dream sequence with shades of different colors around the screen. Once this sequence is over, the movie is normal and the transfer to DVD which I rented was perfect. The movie was just as it is on my VHS tape but of better quality, of course.Movie Review: One of My Favourite Movies
Summary: 5 Stars
I was so happy to find Topkapi on DVD at my local video store this week. I saw it for the first time in my teens in the early 80's on the big screen at a local art movie house that played classic films during the week, and was captivated. Sure the production values may not be fantastic, but the director has pulled all the aspects together to make a really entertaining film. I would highly recommend giving Topkapi a look!Movie Review: Excellent DVD !
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an unforgetable masterpiece performed by the Greek actress Melina Mercouri. The story is amazing and funny. The landscapes and the music are magnificent. The rest of the actors are so good, in particular Maximilian Schell and Peter Ustinov. I have watched it once and once again. Don't miss it, really is a treasure as well as its name !!
