Actually, far too many would be conspirators eventually get too clever to succede. Especially spies and "smart" criminals.

Things like this (and things even more fantastic) have occurred and still do. They almost always fail. The plans that actually work are simple and rely on subtle misdirection. But they work quite well . . . and without fuss. Trouble is; that will not yield a gripping movie, especially with the audience of the 1950s.
