''Love Among Thieves'' is a made-for-television romantic-adventure film produced by the ABC network in 1987. It starred Audrey Hepburn as the Baroness and concert pianist Caroline DuLac, who steals three jewel-encrusted Fabergé eggs from a San Francisco museum. The eggs are demanded as ransom for her kidnapped fiancé in Latin America. She boards a plane for the Latin American city of Ladera, as per instructions, and is met by a drifter named Mike Chambers (Robert Wagner). Caroline first believes that Mike is one of the kidnappers, until a mysterious man in a trench coat tries to kill her and Mike comes to the rescue. They are both captured by a band of Mexican bandits, who also may or may not be part of the scheme. Meanwhile, the couple are pursued by Spicer (Jerry Orbach), a hired thug assigned to retrieve the loot. ''Love Among Thieves'' is notable for several reasons. It was the only made-for-TV film in which Hepburn appeared (although she had done some live drama productions in the 1950s). It was also the last film in which she took a starring role (her next, and final, film performance in 1989's ''Always'' was a cameo). This was the first Hepburn film since 1981's ''They All Laughed.'' It contains a number of intentional references to Hepburn's earlier films, mostly in dialogue, although the basic plot borrows from her 1960s films ''Charade'', ''Paris, When It Sizzles'' and ''How to Steal a Million''. The film includes her final on-screen kiss (with Wagner). The ending left the door open for either a sequel or possibly a TV series, but neither eventuated. Reportedly, Hepburn donated her salary to UNICEF. In 2009, the film became available on DVD through the Warner Archive Collection. ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Love Among Thieves」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
