Charles Boyer exudes his trademark charm in this trifle, a heartwarming and quirky little story set in Paris about too-good-to-ge-true pickpockets.
Allen Jenkins is perfectly cast as his off and on sidekick in crime, but it's hard to imagine another actor other than Chuck in the lead role. His efforts to sweep a high-fashion Parisian model Sidonie (nicely played by familiar movie star Andrea King) are terrific, matched by his sentimental selflessness in making the day for her little boy.
It's a smoothly directed, extremely pleasant little drama, exhibiting the wholesomeness of an era when TV escapism served the audience well.
