Topkapi (1964)
1.) There is no alternate ending - 2.) The female lead is miscast...

The guy who talked about an alternative ending in two reviews here got the film mixed up.
The alternative ending he mentions is from the movie "Grand Slam (1967)", starring Janet Leigh and Robert Hoffmann.
Unfortunately, it's hard to concentrate on what's happening in the film because you're constantly confronted with the catastrophic miscasting of the main actress.
Melina Mercouri as a man-devouring nymphomaniac is about as fitting as Danny de Vito as James Bond.
The first part is a bit long-winded and garrulous, but the depiction of the burglary is staged in an exciting way.
