The Sex Thief (1973)
David Warbeck plays a thriller novelist who masquerades as a masked jewel thief at night. More often than not he ends up getting caught by his victim who is always female and pretty with it and he escapes by seducing them. Once the police are on the case as well as Diane keen's insurance investigator the plot thickens as the female victims all describe someone other than Warbeck as they long for his return making the capture of the randy cat burglar seem almost impossible.
The first film directed by Martin Campbell who would later go on to make Bond classics Goldeneye and Casino Royale, The Sex Thief is one of the better slap and tickle films from the seventies, probably because it has an actual plot and doesn't solely rely on softcore sex scenes for it's entertainment value. In fact you could remove them and still have a half decent movie.
88 Film's Blu-ray is awful in the sound department. At times too loud,at others too quiet, voices coming out of left and right speakers and echoing all over the place. A proper mess. Thankfully i could tweak my amplifier to make it listenable.
