w/d Ernst Lubitsch
Delightful film from the pre-code era of 1931. Two ultra-sophisticated thieves cruise haunts of the wealthy and steal their stuff.
Miriam Hopkins and Herbert Marshall easily carried the film. The entire scenario was most unlikely but we couldn't help root for these charming rascals. Hitchcock tried a similar feat with To Catch a Thief and, to my eye, failed miserably.
A genuine classic.
