A dashing and clever young man (George Chakiris) gets a job as a framer’s apprentice as part of a scheme to steal the Mona Lisa. Along the way, he finds romance with a money-hungry young woman (Marina Vlady) who regretfully opts to join another man’s magic act. Events culminate in an extended, and amusing, chase involving several different parties. Light-hearted fun.

  Recommended. Otto finds this one pleasing enough to relax.
