Topkapi, now available on Amazon Prime. Maximilian Schell, Melina Mercouri, and Peter Ustinov (he won an Oscar for his performance).

Great music to boot.

Interested

Don't read the Wikipedia page on the movie. It is a spoiler.

Still worth watching, Chas. I've seen it more than once and I enjoy it every time.

Another one in the same genre is Hopscotch, with Walter Matthau, Glenda Jackson, and Herbert Lom (playing a Soviet spy). Also a very young Sam Waterston and Ned Beatty.

Unfortunately it's not on Prime right now. Don't know if it's available on Netflix (I don't subscribe).

edit: Hopscotch is available on Shout Factory TV. You can do a 7 day free trial and watch it there!

jon would hate Hopscotch though. Part of it takes place in Salzburg. Lots of Mozart.
