The Burglars (1971)
Director: Henri Verneuil
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Fine film noir material (David Goodis' novel The Burglar, previously filmed as Paul Wendkos' impressive debut in 1956), but here it suffers an overdose of sunshine and multi-national production values to emerge as just another glossy heist replete with sparring jewel thief and detective.Author: PT
