Watching The Great Jewel Robber I have to wonder why an A list actor like James
Cagney or Humphrey Bogart didn't grab on to this story. David Brian did a great
job as our protagonist but had either CAgney or Bogart did this one The Great
Jewel Robber would be a classic.
Brian is a professional thief in every sense of the word. Stealing jewels and furs his is a professional attitude. He's one of the best in his trade and would prefer no violence, but is ready if needed. He also would prefer to work alone as you see in this film it's those he trusts are either cowardly, incompetent or treacherous.
Borden Chase best known for westerns Red River and Winchester 73 a couple of favorites of mine wrote the screenplay. Right up to the end Brian proves to be very clever, more lives than a cat. The last chase sequence is well done and well edited for suspense.
A really great product from Warner Brothers B picture unit.
