Synopsis
"A Touch of Larceny" (1960), now colorized, is a sophisticated British comedy starring James Mason and Vera Miles. Directed by Guy Hamilton, this clever caper film blends humor, romance, and intrigue as it follows the misadventures of a former naval officer who concocts an audacious scheme to make himself rich—if he can get away with it.

Mason plays Commander Max Easton, a charming but unambitious ex-naval officer working a dull job in the Admiralty. When he falls for the beautiful widow Virginia Killain (Vera Miles), he decides to stage his own mysterious disappearance to be declared a national hero—only to cash in on the insurance money and public sympathy. But as the plan unfolds, unexpected twists, a nosy rival, and his own conscience threaten to derail the perfect con.

With sharp dialogue, a stylish London setting, and an effortlessly charismatic performance by James Mason, "A Touch of Larceny" is a delightful blend of British wit and crime caper antics. The colorized edition breathes new life into its elegant cinematography, making it a fresh experience for classic film lovers.
