- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The story never quite adds up, but with help from Ustinov and Robert Morley, Dassin conjures up a superior light entertainment."
-
"If you like heists and holidays, it's almost foolproof entertainment."
-
"One of the very best heist films ever made, Topkapi provides the template for the many lighthearted capers that came later"
-
"If you don't split something, either laughing or squirming in suspense, we'll be surprised."
-
"The film combines sparkling dialogue with moments of unbearable tension."
-
"[A] enjoyable, fast-moving tale of a caper pulled by some of the most delightful characters ever assembled on one screen."
-
"Ustinov has probably the meatiest part in the film and one that allows him to use many of the unsubtleties in dominating scenes he has at his command."
