Logging

Film: Topkapi

It is rare these days when I'm blown away by a performance. But Peter Ustinov in the film steals nearly every scene. He seems way ahead of his time. His expressions and line delivery are amazing comic performances. Beyond a ridiculous opening sequence, this is a thoroughly enjoyable film. Dassin really knows how to build tension in heist sequences.
