FARCE: 'Kelly's Heroes' - 'Bowfinger' - 'Italian Job'

Welcome any and all suggestions for writing farce akin to capers or send ups such as 'Italian-Job'(69) . . 'Kelly's-Heroes' . . 'Bowfinger'?

It seems a wonderful genre, allows for high entertainment while still making a point not forgetting some timeless memorable characters.

thanks in advance

I wish I knew the answer, but I suspect the project relies upon and pivots around a cool/fun, sarcastic/cheating, quick-thinking/cunning central character we can applaud, laugh at, and root for, all at the same time. Not too much to ask for...

Any suggestions for online-tips or helpful writing books?
Interested in exchanging related ideas on capers or send ups?

Its a wonderful genre, allows for high entertainment while still making a point, never mind many timeless memorable characters . . .
