The Happy Thieves (1962)

Synopsis: A trio of thieves of classic paintings is blackmailed into stealing a painting from a museum.

Appraisal: All efforts are made at lending this film an aura of lightness and sophistication --prominent among them the ad nauseam playing of a whistling tune. The plot is not completely uninteresting and the dialogue is occasionally philosophical, but it is not especially thrilling or humorous or ingenious; I guess it will do as a time killer.

Rating: 36
