The Radio Burglary[1] (Finnish: Radio tekee murron) is a 1951 Finnish crime comedy directed by Matti Kassila and starring Hannes Häyrinen. The idea for the movie came from an actual radio program done by sensationalist reporter Usko Santavuori, in which he committed a fake burglary of which local police forces had not been made aware, with the exception of the commander.
The first post–World War II international film for which I could find a reference was the 1951 Finnish production Radio tekee murron, aka The Radio Burglary.
