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

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.
