Part satire, part crime adventure and part screwball comedy, Donald E Westlake's heist caper follows an eclectic team of European baddies vowing to aid (then betray) a beautiful freedom fighter in a plot to restore (and then steal) her nation's purloined treasures. "Castle in the Air" is driven thematically by an insatiable appetite for greed and a zest for poking fun at itself. The plot works up to a raucous rip-off operation across the roads and waterways of Paris, led by master criminal Eustace Dench and his ensemble cast. We had a good time reviewing the pulpy energy of this one, complete with its hijinks, social commentary and a language barrier that just won't quit.
