It Takes A Thief had more fun with Wagner's exaggerated disguises, and wasn't afraid to throw in a fight on a trampoline or a ditzy Teri Garr supporting performance if the story seemed to demand it. The show was frivolous, but never artless. Go to Full Review Chris Hicks Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 12/03/2018
