Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

A total classic from the swingin' sixties, Gambit stars two absolutely adorable people: Michael Caine and Shirley MacLaine. In 2012, there was a pretty funny remake, so if you liked that one, you'll probably want to watch the original, too.It's a little embarrassing, but I actually found the plot a little confusing. But if you like spy movies or heist movies, you probably won't get lost and will find it even more entertaining! For me, I liked it because I liked the two stars.It's a perfect representation of the decade, so if you liked the Austen Powers movies, you'll get a big kick out this one—yes, the 60s really were like that! And if you like movies where likable crooks and con-men create foolproof plans that go awry, you'll definitely like this one.

Shirley MacLaine teams with Michael Caine in this fast paced thriller where a guy seeks the aid of a female to steal a famous sculpture from the world's richest man.The first 20 minutes of the film is devoted to the perfect execution of the caper with MacLaine not uttering one word.Then reality sets in and there are problems along the way, including that MacLaine is far from a subservient accessory to this intended crime.Herbert Lom is the wealthiest man who seems to turn the tables on Caine.The real diabolical part of the scheme is revealed at the film's end, but love shall conquer all including the scheming Caine.

Highly enjoyable mid-sixties fluff. A well-teamed Michael Caine and Shirley MacLaine play a thief and his not so willing cohort. Caine attempts to steal a priceless statue from the world's wealthiest man (Herbert Lom) and pays MacLaine to help him. Things do NOT go as Caine plans. Lom, looking very tanned, is on to him immediately and MacLaine gives him more trouble than he expected. Directed by Ronald Neame, the film is a fun, cleverly scripted caper. Caine and MacLaine have terrific chemistry and Lom, usually playing high strung characters, is very good in a rare low-key performance. The swinging music score is by Maurice Jarre and Clifford Stine was responsible for the (very colorful) photography.

Michael Caine and Shirley Maclaine star in "Gambit," a 1966 movie done in the style so popular in that era, the "caper" film. Inspired by the success and style of "Charade," the '60s brought us "How to Steal a Million," "Topkapi," "Rififi" et al. - sophisticated, glamorous, international, breezy fun. In "Gambit," Harry (Michael Caine) hires Nicole (Maclaine) to pose as his exotic wife so that he can get into the apartment of the richest man in the world, Shabhandar, played by Herbert Lom. "There's no such thing as the richest man in the world," Nicole complains. "It's like the highest star or - " "Okay, the second richest man in the world, the third richest!" Harry yells. Nicole is made up to resemble Shabhandar's late wife. The purpose: robbery.Without giving anything away, the beginning of the film is fabulous and draws the viewer in immediately. Caine is a riot as the gifted Harry, who finds that coping with Nicole is one part of the plan he hadn't counted on, and Maclaine is very funny as a performer who gets more involved in her assignment than she wanted to. Herbert Lom, as the first, second, whatever wealthiest man in the world, Shabhandar, is perfect portraying the urbane, suspicious, and calculating recluse.This isn't the top of the genre, but it's still very enjoyable.
