Thieves out!

About This Movie

So 'Thieves out!' from 1961 is quite the quirky comedy, revolving around this estranged brother duo – the steelworks manager and his brother Timoleon, a teacher. The madness unfolds as Timoleon, thrust into the corporate world, navigates family dynamics and unexpected responsibilities. The pacing feels a bit off at times, which adds to its charm, as you get these reflective moments mixed with slapstick humor. It's interesting how the film tackles themes of family reconciliation amidst the backdrop of greed and betrayal, all while maintaining a light-hearted tone. Orestis Makris gives a solid, if not slightly over-the-top performance, perfectly capturing that naïve sincerity that pulls you in.

This film has a somewhat elusive presence in collector circles, as it wasn’t widely distributed, which adds to its appeal for those hunting for rare gems. Various formats exist, but finding a clean print can be a challenge; VHS copies are more common, though the quality can vary greatly. 'Thieves out!' piques interest not only for its comedic elements but also for its interesting take on familial themes, making it a conversation starter among collectors.
