OK, this might be pretty hard, I'm depending on my memory from when I was 4 to 8 years old, at best guess. This would have been back in 1969 to 1973. It was on TV. I really can't remember much about the movie, I think it had to do with an art thief, but here's the part that has stuck in my mind for the past 40 or so years: The thieves were trying to steal a painting (or possibly a bunch of paintings) in a room. The way the painting were protected was by completely filling the room with grain of some kind (oats? rye? no idea). At the end of the movie, one (or more) of the thieves were trapped in the room with the paintings they were trying to steal, and the grain started falling into the room from a hole in the ceiling. The last thing you saw of the thief was their hand sticking out of the grain, and then being covered up. I thing the thief I saw get covered up was a woman. I remember asking my grandmother what happened, and she told me that they had drowned in grain. This pretty much freaked me out, and for the rest of my life I can still picture this scene pretty clearly.
Since then, I've never seen this movie again, which probably means it wasn't a very good movie, but I think it would be neat to watch it again all thee years later, and see that scene that's been running through my head all this time. Problem is, I've no idea what the movie is called. Any help?
