“The Thief remains superior to most other propaganda films – the loss of dialogue in itself is an asset in toning down didacticism – and director Russell Rouse, experienced in the noir cycle (D.O.A. – 1950), imbues the film with the necessary elements of fear, persecution, alienation, and loneliness.”
