The Prince Who Was a Thief [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - Germany ] Summary Germany released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player.

To save his adopted father from death, he helps him catch the man who has stolen the great pearl on which the safety of the city from a hostile army depends.

Admas' script is masterful, the direction very smooth, and all the technical aspects unusually satisfying, specially Hans J. Salter's music. Those in the cast besides the leads include talented Everett Sloane, Bettey Garde, Donald Randolph,Hayden Rourke, Marvin Miller, and Jeff Corey.
