Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Big Deal on Madonna Street (I soliti ignoti) is a 1958 comedy from Italy directed by Mario Monicelli.It's a heist movie about a bunch of small-time crooks and hoodlums who plan a caper where they will rob a pawn shop. The idea is that they will enter the neighboring building via the coal chute, sneak into the basement, make their way from the basement into a courtyard, climb up to and over a roof, and then enter the pawn shop via a vacant apartment.Unfortunately, the gang is a bunch of idiots, and nothing works out.Marcello Mastroianni appears as Tiberio, a photographer who joins the caper because he's broke and needs cash. Claudia Cardinale had one of her first big parts as Carmelina, sister to gang member Michele, who has a romance with another gang member, Mario.Remade in the U.S. twice— as Louis Malle's Crackers (1984) and then again as The Russo Brothers' Welcome to Collinwood (2002).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

The Caper: A plot to rob the safe in a pawn shop. But it's a comedy, played for laughs, unlike deadly serious takes on The Caper from this era like Rififi.

Chekhov's Gun: Mario's habit of imitating Michele's voice when coming to see Michele's sister Carmelina. This leads to Carmelina mistaking her brother for Mario when Michele comes home, leading Michele to figure out his sister is dating Mario, and getting very angry.

The Blade Always Lands Pointy End In: Averted for a gag when Peppe flings a knife at the door in irritation after Mario quits the gang. The knife bounces off and falls to the ground, and he shrugs.

And Starring: Mastroianni gets a "with" credit at the end, and the guy who plays Dante, a very famous Italian comedian who went simply by "Toto", gets the exotic credit "and special participation".

Blatant Burglar: Capannelle. Peppe bluntly tells him he's too conspicuous, wearing "a thief's uniform" (he's dressed like a jockey, which stands out).
