Synopsis by Hal Erickson
German actress Mary Kid was the star of the Italian Rubacuori (Heart Stealer). The story concerns a prizefighter, played by Egon Stief, and his neglected wife, portrayed by Kid. The "heart stealer" of the title, enacted by Armando Falconi, comes between husband and wife. The story would seem to be pedestrian, but the critics were quite taken by the higher-than-usual production values and the three-dimensional performances. Dino Falconi, son of the film's star, collaborated on the screenplay with Gino Rocca, then the president of Italy's Artists' and Authors' Association.
