EPIC SPLENDOR IS FEATURE
OF THE THIEF OF VENICE’
| A spectacular pageant takes place
against breathtaking backgrounds
in “The Thief of Venice,” the film
produced by Robert Haggiag and
released through Twentieth Cen
tury-Fox which will have a special
pre-release showing Friday only of
next week at the Muse Theatre.
The incomparable splendors of
Venice, where the film was ac
tually photographed in its entirety,
form the setting for a drama of
i ancient rivalry, marked by fiery
romance, thrilling action and great
'pomp.
| “The Thief of Venice” describes
| the heroic adventures of a brave
' and impetuous warrior, Lorenzo,
played with great verve by Paul
j Christian. When his promise to
free his galley slaves, for their
j deeds of great valor, is overruled
by the royal inquisitor, Scarpa,
superbly enacted by Massimo Ser
ato, Lorenzo engages in a series of
daring and dramatic adventures,
culminating in one of the most
savage duels between the two ever
staged for a film, and filmed amid
a royal procession overwhelming in
its richness and splendor.
The most imposing and lavish
production ever attempted abroad,
“The Thief of Venice” utilizes his
toric grandeur combined with the
most modern Hollywood equipment
and artistic know-how in an im
pressive ,and all English-speaking,
panoramic view of maginificent
Venice, known as “The Lady of
the Sea.”
The enchanting canals, with!
dark gondolas drifting past statues
shining of gold, form a visual pic
ture never to be forgotten. The
lusty battle sequences have rarely
been equalled for vigor and spec
tacle, nor has the glamour and
romance of an era and a ctiy been
