Gentlemen Thieves!

In this episode of Attaboy Clarence...

Charles Aznavour guides us, musically, into this week's theme... thieves!

It's John vs Lionel in the Battle Of The Barrymores, but who will come out on top? Arsene Lupin the master thief, or the detective trailing him? The answer may surprise you, in 1932's Arsene Lupin, one of the racier crime thrillers of the pre-code era...

We're then in the company of that most refined of gentleman thieves - Raffles: The Amateur Cracksman from 1930, starring Ronald Colman and Kay Francis, and featuring a wonderful second act heist!

We'll take a trip back in time for another edition of Who The Hell Is That Hollywood Legend?

And there's radio entertainment from the Screen Director's Playhouse!
