Georges (Jean-Paul Belmondo) patiently awaits his inheritance while nurturing his love for his cousin Charlotte (Geneviève Bujold). But after discovering that his guardian uncle has frittered away his fortune and betrothed Charlotte to another suitor, Georges responds by burglarizing the family of his beloved's fiancé.

Critic Reviews for The Thief of Paris

Thief falls short because [Louis Malle] tried to finesse this revelation or never perceived it steadily and clearly enough from the start.

Gary Arnold
Washington Post
With The Thief of Paris Louis Malle once again proves himself not only one of the more thoughtful of the New Wave filmmakers but also one of the more versitile.

Judith Crist
Vogue
Entertaining but cold light satire of French bourgeois society in the early 1900s.

Audience Reviews for The Thief of Paris

Aug 24, 2008

A nice and elegant vengeance. Belmondo gives another fine performance, and the whole setting was quite accurate and pretty. Even though it's a little bit slow, it's still quite enjoyable.
