Matthew Field, the world's leading authority on the cult classic 1969 film THE ITALIAN JOB, joins the podcast for a behind-the-scenes look into the making of the film.  We start with a review of the cult status the film has achieved as one of the most popular films in the UK.  Matthew then takes us into the development of the film with writer Troy Kennedy Martin, producer Michael Deeley, and Paramount Studios head Robert Evans.  The production of the film has fascinating stories at every turn, and we delve into them all including the filming of the traffic jam in Turin, the classic mini cars, the stunts, the music, and the cliffhanger finale.Purchase:The Italian Job 4KThe Self Preservation Society bookBlade Runners, Deer Hunters, and Blowing the Bloody Doors Off book The Extras Facebook pageThe Extras Twitter Warner Archive & Warner Bros Catalog GroupOtaku Media produces podcasts, behind-the-scenes extras, and media that connect creatives with their fans and businesses with their consumers.
