It Takes All Kinds is a 1969 Australian crime drama film directed by Eddie Davis.
American sailor Tony Gunher is asked by Laura Ring to help steal a glass-stained window from a museum. The robbery is a success but then Laura disappears with the window. Tony finds her and she's discovered with crime lord Orville Benton. Benton has a collection of art treasures in the false bottom of a wheat silo. Police capture Benton and his gang but Laura dies.
The film was the first of three movies made by Reg Goldsworthy in association with Commonwealth United Corporation for the American television market.[3] The director and leading actors were imported from Hollywood but the rest of the cast and crew were Australian.[4]
It was shot in four weeks in March 1968. Locations were shot around Sydney and Melbourne with interiors done at Ajax Studios in Sydney.[1]
The film was poorly reviewed and had a disappointing commercial reception.[1]
