7 uomini doro 1965 After I had watched Ghostbusters 2 I asked myself What was that film, in which I have seen this before Men, claiming to be construction workers, digging a hole in the middle of the street Well, this is it It inspired the Societe Generale robbery of 1976 and via it the films that are based on it, i e Les Egouts du Paradis and The Great Riviera Bank Robbery of 79 Actually, it inspired all caper films that rely on brute force, all the way up to Die Hard with a Vengeance So, a meager 4 now hopefully 5 user reviews of this film on IMDb is a bit of a shame But enough of the credentials Seven Golden Men is the daydream of every poor Italian construction worker of the 60s doing the dirty work for the rich northerners in Switzerland Its as simple as that A true communist, Stalin the bank robber kind of film Well all things considered yes, I stand by it Its humour hinges on the appearance of safety in the face of industrial machinery, the characters are either ridiculous caricatures or proletarian stand ins especially the Portuguese Thats what you get Of course, there are some unexpected turns and such, but this really is a film for people, whove held a diamond encrusted steel cutter already in their own hands and for children, of course
