George Hamilton is a debonair cat burglar, making night calls through windows to steal jewelry from noted personalities such as Zsa Zsa Gabor, Carroll Baker and Lilli Palmer, who appear as themselves. The film gets off to a rocky start thanks to the unnecessary cameo distractions, but gets better when Hamilton teams up with his old teacher Joseph Cotten for a big heist. Pretty Marie Laforet is his partner in crime, and they use their acrobatic skills to gain access to a heavily guarded vault. They almost get away with it, almost, but in a twist they have to return their stash of stolen jewels to escape jail time. Dated, lightweight, but enjoyable little escape with European locations and gentlemen criminals.
