Thieves poster

Released in 1977, Thieves is a comedy film directed by John Berry, running about 92 minutes. “A comedy about love, marriage, reconciliation and other acts of courage.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Martin and Sally Cramer grew up on the hardscrabble Lower East Side, where Sally still teaches; meanwhile, Martin's the head of a fancy private school. Romantic dalliances with others convince them that they're meant to be together despite their differences, a decision that's cemented, oddly enough, by an over-the-top argument that draws the police.

Who’s in it. Thieves stars Marlo Thomas as Sally Cramer, Charles Grodin as Martin Cramer, Irwin Corey as Joe Kaminsky and Hector Elizondo as Man Below, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.0/10, Thieves has proved divisive with audiences.
