It Takes a Thief is an American action-adventure television series that ran for two and a half seasons on ABC from January 9, 1968, to March 31, 1970. It starred renowned film actor Robert Wagner in his television debut as skilled thief Alexander Mundy, who works for the United States government in exchange for his freedom. Malachi Throne was Mundy's supervisor during the most of the series. It was among the last in the espionage television genre of the 1960s, but Mission: Impossible continued for years. It Takes A Thief was inspired by, but not based on, Alfred Hitchcock's 1955 Cary Grant film To Catch a Thief; both names are derived from the English proverb "It takes a thief to catch a thief."
