Leave your thoughts about Too Many Crooks.
| The SpectatorIsabel QuiglyA British comedy that starts promisingly and soon fades into school charades on a wet Sunday |
| The New York TimesBosley CrowtherToo Many Crooks is strictly of that surface order, but it's a good, crazy, brisk farce comedy. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzUneven slapstick Brit comedy that is sometimes funny if you have a taste for the humor of Terry-Thomas. |
| User ReviewOliver Babsolutely amazing British film. Terry-Thomas was a genius and his contribution to comedy should never be forgotten. also the supporting cast are superb as well, especially bernard bresslaw who is hilarious. i really wish films this good were still made. |
| User ReviewSteve MBrilliant Film. Don't expect a hollywood blockbuster. It's more subtle and worthy than that. It had me in stitches at points, and Terry-Thomas is brilliant. |
| User ReviewDaniel BSublime cast of comic actors, including Sid James, Bernard Bresslaw and Terry Thomas. Very silly, very funny. If you are looking for the utlimate cad - look no further than Terry Thomas. |
| User ReviewChristopher H'where did you get that hair?' "out of a bottle, same as your girlfriend" 'well, put it back' |
| User ReviewAnn JIt's not just Terry-Thomas that delivers great humor and expressionate acting in this old comedy. |
