Very enjoyable crime caper movie from the early 1960's. I especially enjoyed Melina Mercouri's performance as the roguish jewel thief. The lovable rogue is such a hard character to pull off - anyone remember ST:TNG's "Outrageous Okona"? (*cringe*) She nailed it - AND she was also very sexy as a woman of a certain age - she was in her mid-40s back when people in their mid-40s actually looked like it. Gorgeous Greek and Turkish scenery and some highly entertaining plot twists.
