Seven Thieves -- A discredited professor and a sophisticated thief decide to join together and pick a team to pull off one last job--the casino vault in Monte Carlo.

North by Northwest -- Cary Grant stars as a Madison Avenue advertising exec who is mistaken for someone else and kidnapped by a group of international spies, headed by James Mason.

When young Christy Mathewson Cooper secures a job as a batboy with a team called the Bisons, he amazes players and management by delivering tips on how to win games. The big secret is that Christy is merely the mouthpiece for his father, former big-league ballplayer Larry Cooper, whose run of bad luck has forced him to hawk peanuts at the ballpark. Impressed by Christy's apparent expertise, the Bisons' owner, always on the lookout for a new publicity gimmick, promptly appoints the pint-sized Christy as manager of the team.

Theo, an elderly professor, has just finished what he terms as a "three year rest," meaning a prison term. Theo tells a young criminal, Paul, that he wants one more triumph before ending his highly controversial career. Even though he is reluctant, Paul takes physical charge of the criminal operation of which mastermind Theo has meticulously planned. Melanie, a stripper, and her mentor, saxophonist Poncho, are also recruited onto the seven person team for the event. The master plan calls for the robbery of the Grand Casino of Monte Carlo on the night of the Governor's Ball. But when the caper moves into full swing, obstacles abound. Will the seven thieves be able to pull it off?
