The Fake

Paul Mitchell (Dennis O’Keefe) is an American hired to guard Leonardo da Vinci’s priceless painting &NFi;Madonna and Child&NFi_; as it travels to be exhibited in London. When it’s stolen from the museum, Paul must hunt down the culprits who replaced it with a forgery. He queries experts about counterfeiting, and suspicion falls on painter Henry Mason (John Laurie), although Paul’s quest is compromised by his romance with Henry’s daughter (Coleen Gray).
