Leave your thoughts about The Big Job.
| User ReviewCarlton RLove it classic comedy, great cast from a time when comedy was actually funny. dick emery is fab in this |
| User ReviewAndrew Ma classic, reminds me of the ladykillers, not sure who copied who tho. |
| User ReviewPeter PEssentially the 'Carry On' that wasn't. It's almost the same style, and given its the same director, much of the same cast, and made in between half a dozen of the aforementioned series you'd be forgiven for thinking it was. |
| User ReviewJack SDespite the presence of Sid James, Joan Sims, Jim Dale, and director Gerald Thomas, "The Big Job" was not considered one of the "Carry On" movies. But it's quite amusing nonetheless, with James in good form as the leader of the pack of crims. |
| User ReviewKarsh DOne of the best Rogers and Thomas non carry on films. Sid James heads a gang of small time crooks trying to get some cash from a Post Office raid some 15 years previous. |
| User ReviewJohn DWorst theme music and opening title sequence ever, it does get a little better though as it develops, mainly due to the familiar faces giving it socks. |
