The Thief of Venice or Il Ladro di Venezia is a 1950 Italian film directed by John Brahm.

[4] In June it was thought Edmond O'Brien and his wife Olga San Juan would star and the producers would be Monte Schaff and Lou Appleton.

[8] John Brahm signed to direct and Faye Marlowe and George Sanders were to play support roles, with filming to start in Italy on 1 November 1949.

[13] The New York Times called it "mammoth, picturesque and infantile" which "represents the lustiest barrage of screen hokum in a blue moon.

Principally because of the unabashed muscularity of the action and a stunning authenticity of background this production... remains for the most part palatable fun to watch.

"[14] The Christian Science Monitor said that "a series of coups, captures and escapes take place with a great deal of running about but very little inventiveness.
