Go to Blazes is a British comedy film released in 1962. Directed by Michael Truman, the film stars Dave King, Robert Morley, and Daniel Massey. The story is about a group of crooks who attempt to rob a factory filled with valuable paintings. The movie begins with a group of three hapless robbers - Harry (played by Dave King), Alfie (played by Norman Rossington), and Spike (played by Barry Lowe) - deciding to rob a factory. They are not professional thieves and things quickly go wrong. Soon they find themselves being pursued by the police and must come up with a plan to escape.

Meanwhile, the owner of the factory, the eccentric Mr. Wilberforce (played by Robert Morley), is worried about the safety of his valuable painting collection. So he hires a trio of bumbling burglars - Dusty (played by Daniel Massey), Lenny (played by Dennis Price), and Shorty (played by Roy Kinnear) - to steal the paintings and replace them with fakes.

The two groups of robbers run into each other while trying to break into the factory. They decide to team up and combine their skills to pull off the heist. However, their plans are constantly foiled by a series of mishaps and misunderstandings.

The movie is full of slapstick humor and witty dialogue. The performances by the cast are excellent, with Robert Morley stealing the show as the eccentric factory owner. The film also features appearances by notable British actors such as Maggie Smith and Oliver Reed in minor roles.

One of the highlights of the film is the climactic car chase scene, which is both thrilling and hilarious. The scene involves a high-speed chase through the streets of London, with the two groups of robbers driving a truck and a sports car respectively.

Overall, Go to Blazes is a fun and entertaining film that will keep viewers laughing from start to finish. It is a great example of classic British comedy and a must-watch for fans of the genre.
