Gambit (1966)



An English cat burglar needs a Eurasian dancer's help to pull off the perfect heist, but even the most foolproof schemes have a way of backfiring.

Likable, but not too exciting heist comedy; as so often,  Shirley MacLaine makes it worth the while.

Halliwell**: "An enjoyable light pattern of cross and double cross is well sustained to the end."

Maltin***: "Gimmicky robbery yarn...great fun."
