Federal investigators came to believe during the past decade that the key to the world’s biggest art heist the still-unsolved 1990 theft of $500 million in paintings and other works from Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum might be found just outside Hartford. The feds thought the paintings might have been in or under the home of an old, convicted gangster, Robert “The Cook” Gentile, in Manchester where they dug up his yard and tore out walls looking for two Rembrandts and other treasures created by the likes of Vermeer, Degas and Manet.Gentile denies any involvement and the paintings have never been found, despite the museum’s $10 million reward offer that still stands.

When shot at night, at the right angles, with spooky music on the soundtrack, the genteel elegance of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum makes for an ideal film noir setting. Such recurring images of the Venetian-style palazzo with its eerie low-lit galleries, its ornate central courtyard spectral in the night, its shadowy tunnels and passageways highlighted by cobwebs, set the mood for Colin Barnicle’s four-part, 3½-hour “This Is a Robbery: The World’s Biggest Art Heist,” on Netflix. ....
