The Light Touch

The Light Touch is a 1951 film starring Stewart Granger, Pier Angeli, and George Sanders, written and directed by Richard Brooks.

Knowing that Sam is as unscrupulous and selfserving as he, Felix suspects otherwise. Nonetheless, he accepts Sams suggestion that they create half a dozen forgeries to sell to unsuspecting art lovers. Felix recommends Anna Vasarri Pier Angeli as a painter good enough and poor enough to consider doing the work. When Sam approaches her, however, she is appalled and refuses, especially since the painting is believed by Catholics and Aramescue to work miracles. Felix tells Sam to get her to change her mind by romancing her. It works. She falls in love with him.Meanwhile, Sam contacts R. F. Hawkley Larry Keating, one of the few art fences capable of selling the famous painting. After his forgery expert, MacWade Rhys Williams, confirms that the work is genuine, he agrees to pay 100,000. However, he does not have that much money with him, and Felix learns of their meeting. ........
