The Big Job (1965)
Director: Gerald Thomas
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Director Thomas, writer Rothwell, producer Thomas, and the familiar cast ensure that this 'unofficial' Carry On reproduces the familiar formula of its virtually institutionalised predecessors. Here Sid's hapless gang emerge from jail fifteen years after the eponymous disaster, and attempt to recover their hidden loot from the grounds of a police station that has sprung up on the site.Author: PT
