But it is the kids themselves (recruited from the New York City streets) who give the ring of truth to this glossy rendering of Bel Kaufman's novel about a teacher's problems in a slum-area high school. THE THIEF OF PARIS. Jean-Paul Belmondo plays a burglar in turn-of-the-century France, manages only to steal the picture, which, because of its disjointedness, just misses being worth the effort...
