​Throughout the run of Chicago Collects: Jewelry in Perspective, the Driehaus Museum hosts ‘Heist Night’ film screenings of classic heist films and talkbacks with film experts. The 1975 film Murph the Surf chronicles the audacious 1964 heist of the J.P. Morgan jewel collection from the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. Dubbed "The Greatest Jewel Heist of the 20th Century," the film will be introduced by Chicago Collectsguest curator, Elyse Karlin, who will set the context for the film with a primer on the visuals and narrative.
