    Editorial Reviews

    In this elegant "caper" film, Audrey Hepburn stars as the daughter of a wealthy Parisian (Hugh Griffith), whose hobby is copying famous works of art. His replica of a famed Cellini sculpture is inadvertently displayed in an art museum, and he begins to worry that he'll lose his reputation once the experts evaluate the statuette. Audrey decides to rob the museum, and hires a burglar (Peter O'Toole) for that purpose. But the burglar is really a detective, who has every intention of arresting Audrey and her father when the deed is done. All style and little substance, How to Steal a Million is consummately acted by the stars, but the film is stolen hands-down by a "double take" reaction from French comic actor Moustache. The film was originally titled How to Steal a Million Dollars and Live Happily Ever After, which gave the whole game away and thus was pared down before release. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    October 07, 2009: This film is great for an evening of light comedy made with great style. It's not Audrey's best film, but it's fun to watch and the the visuals are nicely done. Cars, money, art theives and a quirky family situations are always good cinema!

    I Also Recommend: Operation Petticoat, Charade, Tortilla Soup, Chocolat, Ocean's Eleven.

    Hepburn and O'Toole are delightful together.by Anonymous

    September 04, 2005: Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole make an engaging pair of respectable thieves out to pull a heist at a Paris museum. This sophisticated 1966 comedy features an enjoyable Eli Wallach and Hugh Griffith on hand to steal scenes from the two leads. Add to it a sparkling score by John(ny) Williams, a witty Harry Kurnitz script and stylish William Wyler direction. Most of the fun revolves around the couple's efforts in getting a phony Cellini sculpture out of the maximum-security museum. Audrey is at it again, dressed to the nines by Givenchy, bejeweled by Cartier, terribly chic and terribly anxious to protect her irrepressible old forger of a father (Griffith). The theft itself is ingenious, on par with such memorable films as "Rififi" and "Topkapi" and there are assorted breathtaking Panavision scenes in and around Paris for the benefit of those who can't visit the fabled city in person this season. Later that year, Shirley MacLaine and Michael Caine would attempt a similar touch of larceny in "Gambit". [filmfactsman]
