… Robert Day's Petter Sellers vehicle Two-Way Stretch is a straight up heist movie with a good central idea…never tries to do anything but entertain, and the final heist, with a van lifted into the air, is quite well staged…

When is an Ealing Studios comedy not an Ealing Studios comedy? When it’s Two Way Stretch, for one.

The result is a hilarious crook farce, nicely free of strain and frenzy from start to finish.
