The mystery of The Italian Job's cliff-hanger has been resolved after almost 40 years by Sir Michael Caine.
The 1969 film ends with a gang of gold thieves hanging over a ravine in a bus. Every step they take towards the loot threatens to tip them into the abyss.
"Hang on lads, I've got a great idea," says Sir Michael's character, Charlie Croker... and then the credits roll.

His disclosure comes as the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) holds a competition to find the most original, and plausible ending to the film.
Dr Richard Pike, chief executive of the RSC, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that Sir Michael's explanation was just "one of those many plausible routes to securing all that gold".
