The Thief is a piercing Hitchcockesque thriller about a Communist spy who kills an FBI agent and is haunted by his guilty conscience. The most unique suspense story of the sound era, without a single word spoken! Brilliant production with beautiful photography in New York, Washington, D.C., and other East Coast locations. A product of the Cold War era when Communists were infiltrating all phases of American life. Academy Award-winner Ray Milland stars in this moody film noir masterpiece.
