It Takes a Thief is an American action-adventure television series that aired on ABC for two and a half seasons between January 9, 1968, and March 24, 1970. It starred veteran movie actor Robert Wagner in his television debut as sophisticated thief Alexander Mundy, who works for the U.S. government in return for his release from prison. For most of the series, Malachi Throne played Noah Bain, Mundy's boss.
It was among the last of the 1960s spy television genre, although Mission: Impossible continued for several years. It Takes A Thief was inspired by, though not based upon, the 1955 Cary Grant motion picture To Catch a Thief, directed by Alfred Hitchcock. In the new 2005-2011 series, this classic TV show continues with the Son of Alexander Mundy; Oliver Mundy, carrying on the Mundy Tradition as a renown thief and computer hacker, who is arrested and later recruited by a young C.I.A director, who happens to be the Son of Noah Bain. This new series (which will be the format for a new "It Takes A Thief" Movie) created, and directed by famed film director, songwriter, and actor; Rev. Vic "The Iceman" Beckles.
