One of our all-time favorite series, and one of our favorite actors, combined to make a terrific series called It Takes a Thief for ABC Television in the late 1960s. This video clip is an interview with Robert 'RJ' Wagner as he talks about the making of the series and how proud he was to be an integral part of the show, playing master thief Alexander Mundy.
It Takes a Thief was a cool, exotic, breezy series that ran during that 'hip' time of the late 1960s and very early 1970s. The cast of actors assembled each week was top notch and the series always had a level of charm that has held up very well over the decades. If you binge watch any TV series during this COVID-19 challenging time, It Takes a Thief is one series we highly recommend. It will bring a smile to your face.
The series ran from January 1968 to March 1970, and ran for many years in syndication. We believe it is still streaming on Hulu, or at least was when NBC/Universal was part owner of Hulu. With Disney purchasing a greater portion of Hulu this past year (as it gained ownership control of 20th Century Fox), that NBC/Universal connection with Hulu has changed, but we do hope fans can still tap into Alexander Mundy and the show anytime they want somewhere via VOD and/or streaming option (the new NBC-based Peacock?) For those who might like to own the DVD set of the show, it is highly (highly) recommended and is available on Amazon, B&N, etc. This interview clip (the interview is a full half-hour long) is included in this terrific DVD package and is one of our prized series DVDs in our Television Vanguard library.
Enjoy ! Part 1 of the interview today, part 2 later this weekend.
