Screening of Topkapi

[Cinephile Film Club]

Greetings from the Cinephile film club!

This Thursday, 5th Feb at 6.30 pm, Sachin Chatte will host the screening of the caper comedy, Topkapi (1964, color, 2 hrs).

Bruce Geller, the creator of Mission Impossible, cited Topkapi as an inspiration for the series, and Christopher Nolan has called it one of his favourite films. Directed by Jules Dassin, who gave us Rififi, one of the greatest heist movies ever, Topkapi is about a heist planned at the famed museum in Istanbul. Starring  Peter Ustinov (in an Oscar-winning role), Melina Mercouri, and Maximilian Schell, the story revolves around a small-time con artist who gets roped into helping a gang of international art thieves steal an emerald-encrusted dagger from Istanbul's Topkapı Palace.
