Crooks Anonymous
No one ever turned on the HEAT and HILARITY Like "Crooks Anonymous"
Directed by Ken Annakin
Produced by Independent Artists
A lighthearted 1960s comedy about a reformed burglar's struggle to stay honest while tempted by easy money and romance, built on charm and comedic mishap rather than genuine peril.
A former burglar trying to go straight joins a rehabilitation scheme using much the same methods as AA. Through the process, he takes work as a department store Santa, where the endless parade of goods and money, not to mention the pretty young shop hands have him like a moth to a flame in no time flat.
