Synopsis
Bud Yorkin
directed this middling comedy, written by
Walter Hill
from a novel by Terrence Lore Smith.
Ryan O'Neal
plays a computer expert named Webster, who alleviates on-the-job doldrums by moonlighting as a successful jewel thief. Webster invites himself to upscale soirees, where he cases out the location and proceeds with his heists. During his adventures, he meets up with Laura (
Jacqueline Bisset
), a high society woman who teams up with Webster to assist on his heists. Gradually the two fall in love. However, it's not all easy going, since an insurance detective (
Warren Oates
) suspects that Webster is the jewel thief but he has no proof ... yet. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide
