Crooks Anonymous Reviews

Phillips is a thief trying to break himself of the habit and settle down with his fiancee, stripper Christie. At her suggestion, he joins Crooks Anonymous, an organization headed by Hyde-White, and dedicated to reforming criminals. After some weeks, he is pronounced cured of criminal thoughts and is given a job as Santa Claus in despotic manager Robertson Justice's department store. All goes well until he is accidentally locked in the store overnight with all the Christmas shopping proceeds. Unable to control his urge to steal the loot, he calls his friends from Crooks Anonymous to lend him support. They rush over to the store, and the temptation proves too much for the lot. They steal the money, but Christie threatens to turn them in unless it is returned. After some difficulty, the money is replaced, and Phillips marries Christie. Nice crime comedy with a marvelous cast.
