Following The Sicilian Clan (1969), which was the third-highest grossing film in France that year, director Henri Verneuil planned another crime film. He based The Burglars on David Goodis' 1953 novel The Burglar.

Columbia Film partnered with Franco Cristaldi's company Vides to have the film 80% funded by the two Paris-based production companies: Columbia Films and Les Productions Henri Venreuil and 20% funded by the Rome-based Vides Cinematografica. The film was originally going to be filmed in Hamburg, with Verneuil opting to film in Greece instead. After a 1967 coup, Greece become a military dictatorship.
