The Burglar Who Thought He Was Bogart

Bookstore owner Bernie Rhodenbarr is falling in love with a woman from an obscure European country, but all she wants to do is watch Bogart films. Meanwhile Bernie once again succumbs to the lure of his old calling, burglary. If he steals a portfolio from an apartment, he will receive a share of the profits. His burglary is interrupted, and he learns that his co-conspirator has been killed. What would Bogie do? Strong language. 1995.
