Dan Gainor: It takes a thief, not a village

The geezers among us (myself included) remember Robert Wagner stealing his way to fame in a Cold War TV show called “It Takes a Thief.” Unless the writers? strike messes it up, Hollywood is hell-bent on another remake ? this time starring Will Smith.

Both TV show and movie incorporate the same theme. The star of our show is a top-notch crook who is promised a get-out-of-jail-free card if he steals for the government, not from it.
