GAMBIT
January 28, 2014  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

In 2012, the Coen Brothers wrote, but did not direct, a remake of Gambit, a 1966 Michael Caine heist caper co-starring Shirley MacLaine as a sexy, loose-cannon accomplice. The remake starred Colin Firth, doing an excellent Caine homage, and Cameron Diaz – but here on TCM, as the first movie in an all-night string of Caine films, you can – and should – watch the Sixties original. Co-stars include Herbert Lom, who was persecuted so memorably as the boss of Peter Sellers’ Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther movies.
