Once a Thief (1965)
7/10
Fun 60s "neo noir" worth a watch.

Check out this movie for the uniqueness of it, from the cool cast to the quirky writing, especially is if you are a noir fan. There is a pretty standard plot for the genre but Van Heflin brings a lot of cred as the cop, Jack Palance is his usual menacing self and the legendary Ann Margaret plays a good sized role. Alain Delon plays an Italian guy even though he doesn't alter his French accent, which might seem a little distracting but to me it just adds to the quirkiness of this film. The black and white wide screen cinematography is great and pretty creative at times. Overall I give the movie a 7 out if 10.
