Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

LenaAndBarry One particular line, said by Nicole Bonnet (Audrey Hepburn) in a stupefied voice, accurately sums up my overall feelings: "Marvelous."The comedy! When it comes to the jokes, screenwriter George Bradshaw is a sharpshooter. And of course, with any comedy that works, a portion of the applause should be directed towards the pair of lead actors and their chemistry. EVERY SECOND that Hepburn and O'Toole shared the screen, my smile, which seemed to always be there, widened. My love for Audrey has long since been established, but here is where I fell for Peter, who I'd dare say stole the movie; he was SO damn good, and SO damn charming. It's this couple's likability that contributes to the nervous excitement of the heist suggested in the title.And that heist! That entire playful sequence, from the planning to the finale, was a blast. Wyler seamlessly wove scenes that filled me with anxiousness with those that had me grinning at the delightful comedy and romance. It was so creative and so much fun to sit through.I wish I had more words to praise this picture, but a first viewing and a lack of an imagination restrict me. To wrap this up: this being my first Wyler unfairly sets the bar at a dizzying height for the second.

SimonJack Peter O'Toole was English and Audrey Hepburn came to the U.S. from England (she was born in Belgium). Both were stars at the peak of their careers when this 1966 caper comedy came out. I wonder why this was the only film they made together. They certainly show good chemistry in "How to Steal a Million." But then, every actor seemed to have good chemistry with Audrey Hepburn. And she played opposite many of the leading men of the 1950s and 1960s. In many of her films, the male lead was considerably older. This film is unusual in that regard. While the two lead characters are about the same age in the film, O'Toole in real life was more than three years younger than Hepburn. This film isn't among the best works of either star. But it has charm in an interesting but simple plot. Hepburn plays Nicole, whose father, Bonnet (played by Hugh Griffith) is an accomplished painter who prefers to make his money by masterly forgeries. But he doesn't get caught because of his unique market – super rich patrons of the arts who prefer to hoard once lost masterpieces rather than share them or show them in public. O'Toole is Simon Dermott, the world's foremost expert in uncovering forgeries and unmasking the culprits. But, perchance, Hepburn mistakes him for an art thief. Therein lies the start of a wonderful, funny caper that will see their romance bloom as well. There are no belly laughs in this film, but plenty of occasions to chuckle and smile. The film takes place in Paris and was shot in France. So, it pokes the customary fun at some things French – in this case, the museum watch guards, police security and the government. It's a light film but an entertaining one that the whole family should enjoy.

kijii Why would anyone want to steal a priceless statue, the Cellini Venus, from a Paris art museum IF you had been the one to loan it to the museum in the first place? Therein lies the riddle that makes up the story of this movie. When you first look at the cast of this William Wyler movie, it looks like there are three—maybe four--Oscar winners. Well, that is true and not true: Audrey Hepburn and Hugh Griffith won performance Oscars, but Peter O'Toole and Charles Boyer—while receiving several nominations each —ended up with only Honorary Oscars. Once you have seen a few art heist movies, you know what pains that a museum or bank goes through to protect the priceless objet d'art in their possession. There all sorts of bells and whistles, secret codes, and infrared sensors around the art, not to mention the 24/7 personnel used to respond to this plethora of mechanical-electrical gimmicks.The fun of the movie is watching O'Toole help Hepburn try to steal the statue. This is a bit like watching an episode of the old Mission Impossible TV show.

gavin6942 Romantic comedy about a woman (Audrey Hepburn) who must steal a statue from a Paris museum to help conceal her father (Hugh Griffith)'s art forgeries, and the man (Peter O'Toole) who helps her.At this point in his career, William Wyler was a legend and had made many successful films and critical hits. This is a man who had been working for decades in a variety of genres. And yet, after all those years, this may be one of his most entertaining.We start with the fun idea of paintings being forged, with the incredible character actor Hugh Griffith. I wish Griffith had done more films, because he seems to have taken anything people would give him, ending up in a few AIP films. And then we have a comedy for the next two hours. The description says "romantic comedy", but I think that does not really do the film justice. It is not the modern idea of what we call a "rom com".
