Le Voleur (The Thief) est un film américain réalisé par Charles Giblyn, sorti en 1920.

Synopsis

Mary Vantyne et son mari Andrew sont invités chez une vieille amie de Mary, Isabelle Lenwright, qui contrairement à Mary a épousé un homme riche. Lorsque Mary entend certains invités se moquer de son apparence, elle décide d'avoir une nouvelle garde-robe, et bientôt tout le monde est étonné par Mary et ses belles robes. Ces changements font qu'elle est admirée par Fred Lenwright, le fils de son amie, mais aussi par le peu scrupuleux millionnaire Ralph Blake. Face à des factures de plus en plus élevées, Mary se trouve dans une position compromettante jusqu'à ce que Blake lui montre un reçu attestant le paiement de ces factures. De plus, Lenwright engage un détective pour enquêter sur le vol de 3 000 $, dont Fred se trouve accusé. Puis Andrew découvre les factures payées par Blake, et ce dernier prétend que Fred a volé cet argent pour payer les factures de Mary. Mais Mary confesse que c'est elle qui a pris cet argent pour payer ses nouveaux habits.

Both the Duke and Duchess have an eye for beauty and other partners. The Duke presently fancies a young woman who poses as an artist's model. The Duchess has her eye on the famous artist, Benvenuto Cellini, who is in the palace making a set of gold plates to be used at ducal banquets. Cellini purportedly hypnotizes young women, and cuckolds the Duke of Florence. The somewhat oblivious Duke is loath to punish the young man, for Cellini fashions gold wares for him, but throws him into the torture chamber. However, a goblet of poisoned wine solves the problem.

From Turner Classic Movies: "The downtrodden Lester family lives in rural Georgia alongside the old tobacco road, on once-prosperous farm land which is now fallow. The head of the family is Jeeter (Grapewin), a shiftless man who is always making grand plans but never following through with them. The other Lesters are Jeeter's hard-working wife Ada (Patterson); their daughter Ellie May (Tierney), who is a spinster at twenty-three; their high-strung son Dude (Tracy), who is obsessed by automobiles; and Jeeter's silent, browbeaten mother (Tilbury). The Lesters are constantly on the verge of starvation. One afternoon they are visited by Lov Bensey (Bond), who is married to Jeeter and Ada's daughter Pearl (who never appears in the film), the family attacks him and steals his bag of turnips.
