If you loved The Lavender Hill Mob, try A Fish Called Wanda

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

What A Fish Called Wanda is

A trio of thieves plots a diamond heist, unaware their moll’s allergy to seafood will become their least absurd problem. A barrister falls for the kleptomaniac, complicating his own future kidnapping. The lawyers end up in court, the criminals in custody, and the fish lives to swim another day.
