Peter Voss, Thief of Millions (German: Peter Voss, der Millionendieb) is a 1958 West German comedy crime film directed by Wolfgang Becker and starring O. W. Fischer, Ingrid Andree and Margit Saad. It was based on the 1913 novel Peter Voss, Thief of Millions by Ewald Gerhard Seeliger, which had been previously adapted into three films. The film was a popular success, and was followed by a sequel Peter Voss, Hero of the Day with Fischer reprising his role.
It was shot at the Bavaria Studios in Munich. Location shooting took place at a variety of settings including Lisbon, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Barcelona, Genoa and Marseille. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Hans Jürgen Kiebach, Hans Kuhnert and Karl Schneider. Originally Eddie Constantine had been intended to play the title role, but at the last minute his unavailability led to the casting of Fischer in his place.
