The Thief (1966)

Loving Romy Schneider, it is very simple to appreciate this film about a moral dilemma, solved, maybe, in too arbitrary manner.

A nice collaboration between Romy Schneider and Michel Picoli, it offers, in white and blue images, with auster tools and dialogue reminding a theater play, the drama of a woman who, at 19 years old birth and abandone a baby for , six years later, fighting for him and having apparently, succes.

Fair crafted tension, good acting and a melodrama reched with inspired nuances, not ignoring few pathetic scenes.

Most important - the end. I admitt, for me, it is far to be the inspired one because it seems more comfortable answer to moral expectations of audience, ignoring small, significant things.

A bitter story about love.
