It Takes a Thief

It Takes a Thief

Robert Wagner starred as Alexander Mundy in It Takes a Thief, an international spy series that aired on ABC from January 1968 through March 1970 and included 66 episodes over 3 seasons.

The premise of this terrific series was that Alexander was a cat burglar and professional thief who is recruited by Noah Bain (played by Malachi Throne), the head of a secret US spy agency, to "officially" steal for the government. During the second season, Alexander's dad, Alister Mundy (wonderfully played by Fred Astaire), had a semi-recurring role.
