"The Biggest Bundle of Them All" is a caper film that would have worked much better had the story either been funnier or a serious story. As it is, this hybrid story left me very cold.
When the story begins, a gang of misfits kidnaps a famous mobster (Vittorio De Sica). But they soon learn the man has little money and instead of just releasing him, the kidnap victim gets them to agree to make him the boss and pull a really big heist...$5,000,000! But unfortunately, the gang turn out to be complete idiots...too much so.
The story seemed incomplete. I have no idea why Raquel Welch was there other than to be nice eye candy. I have no idea why several of the gang members were afraid of guns and violence. And, I have no idea why De Sica and Edward G. Robinson would agree to be in a film with such a weak script. Overall, dull and difficult to believe.
