• Plot: A 'skillful blend of romance and comedy' (The Hollywood Reporter), Topgapi shimmers with hilarity, action and great performances! Fun-filled and suspenseful, it's 'an incredibly ingenious affair [and] a considerable pleasure to watch' (Newsweek)!; ; Trouble brews beneath the exotically curved towers of Istanbul when the equally exotic - and equally curved - Elizabeth Lipp (Melina Mercouri) recruits her former lover (Maximilian Schell) in a scheme to heist the pride of the city's Topkapi museum: a jewel-encrusted dagger. But the 'job' soon turns into a high-tension, high-wire performance - literally - when the bumbling fall guy (Peter Ustinov) and other amateurs they've hired as help find they'll have to lift their prize while dangling from the museum's vaulted ceiling!
