A Movie A Day: HOW TO STEAL A MILLION (1966) You don’t think I’d steal something that didn’t belong to me, do you?
12/10/08 Quint here with today's installment of A Movie A Day. [For those now joining us, A Movie A Day is my attempt at filling in gaps in my film knowledge. My DVD collection is thousands strong, many of them films I haven't seen yet, but picked up as I scoured used DVD stores. Each day I'll pull a previously unseen film from my collection or from my DVR and discuss it here. Each movie will have some sort of connection to the one before it, be it cast or crew member.] | Ain't It Cool News -
