About This Movie

The Robber Cries Thief! is a 1965 comedy featuring a story of honesty amidst conspiracy. Directed by an unknown filmmaker, this film showcases the struggles of an honest man caught in a web of deceit.

The Robber Cries Thief! centers on Timoleon Lambrou, portrayed by Dinos Iliopoulos, an extremely honest man who loses jobs due to his integrity. After finding a wallet filled with cash and a letter from a military General, he decides to return it, but soon discovers a conspiracy involving the General's wife, Lia, played by Rena Vlahopoulou.

As the plot unfolds, Lia tries to protect her brother who has embezzled funds from the General's organization. The honest man’s attempts to reveal the truth lead to him being labeled as crazy and anti-establishment, resulting in his imprisonment. The film navigates themes of honesty, betrayal, and the consequences of integrity in a comedic setting, culminating in a resolution centered around the revelation of truth by Lia.

This film, produced by Finos Film, reflects the comedic style of the 1960s Greek cinema, making it a notable piece for collectors interested in this genre and era. With a strong cast including Dionysis Papagiannopoulos and Nini Jannet, it captures the essence of its time and genre.

This film has a bit of a niche following among collectors, especially those who appreciate Greek cinema from the 60s. Its scarcity in various formats, particularly on physical media, tends to make it a sought-after title for those interested in historical comedies. The film's unique tone and premise stand out, but it often flies under the radar, which can sometimes make finding a good quality version a bit of a challenge.
