Stolen

This fascinating documentary for museum aficionados centers on the still unsolved, largest art heist in history and focuses primarily on skin-cancer-afflicted art detective Harold J. Smith and his 15-year search for the thirteen classical paintings, including five Degas, one Manet, one Flinck, three Rembrandt, and Vermeer's The Concert, stolen by two cop-posing thieves in March 1990 from the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum in Boston and consists of readings from letters written by Grand Dame Isabella Stewart Gardner (voice by Blythe Danner) and Bernard Berenson (voice by Campbell Scott) and interviews with a FBI special agent, a Boston Herald reporter, art historian Tracy Chevalier, writer Susan Vreeland, and a Vermeer biographer.
