"A Touch Of Larceny"

James Mason, whose screen career has always leaned towards menace and strong drama, takes time off from the darker side of life to play smart comedy in the new Ivan Foxwell production "A Touch of Larceny," co-starring Vera Miles and George Sanders.

Producer Foxwell's idea that Mason would be ideal as the British naval officer with not much money but plenty of nerve. To win his beautiful girl friend away from her rich fiancee, the commander plans an elaborate hoax to raise some money in a hurry.

Directed by Sir Guy Hamilton, the Paramount release was especially tailored to suit Mason's talents, and casts Miss Miles as the girl, Sanders as her wealthy fiancee.
