One of the low budget films made by Fuller during his self-imposed exile in Paris, Thieves After Dark is a romantic thriller about two unemployed lovers on the run from the police and their own bad luck. Bobby Di Cicco of The Big Red One stars as a hapless cellist who falls for the wrong girl, while Claude Chabrol, Christa Lang and Fuller himself count among the film’s memorable caricature cameos. Rarely screened today, Thieves After Dark is a playfully minor Fuller film nevertheless animated by the same visual daring and stylistic audacity of his masterworks.
