UNSEALED

Murph the Surf, also known as Live a Little, Steal a Lot, is a 1975 film based on a jewel burglary involving the surfer Jack Roland Murphy, who had the nickname "Murph the Surf." Starring Robert Conrad and Don Stroud, it was directed by Marvin J. Chomsky. The New York Times edition of October 20, 2019 revisited the true story of Jack Murphy's theft of the irreplaceable gemstones from a poorly guarded Museum of Natural History.

In the early 1960s, a "celebrity beach bum" named Jack Murphy—aka Murph the Surph—helped mastermind the stealing of the Star of India sapphire from the American Museum of Natural History. The film concentrates on the sociopathic pre-theft activities of Murphy (played by Don Stroud) and his partner in crime Allan Kuhn (excellently impersonated by Robert Conrad). The hollowness of Murph and Kuhn's Miami Beach lifestyle is offset with their never-ending search for "kicks"—the last of which earned them both stiff prison terms.
