The daughter (Audrey Hepburn) of a wealthy Frenchman (Hugh Griffith) who creates counterfeit art learns her father is in danger of being exposed as a crook. She decides to steal the family's forged Cellini sculpture from a museum before experts can examine it and enlists a society burglar (Peter O'Toole) to help her.
Audrey Hepburn was never more sleek and glamorous than in this delightful romantic caper costarring Peter O'Toole and directed by William Wyler. She's the chic daughter of a renowned art collector and covert forger (the always eccentric Hugh Griffith) who's deposited his best work, a famous statue, in a Paris museum. Trouble is, technology can now detect such forgery, so Hepburn plots to steal the statue with the help of O'Toole, an amateur thief and covert inspector. Of course, neither of them knows the whole truth about the other. They make an utterly charming couple, with O'Toole stealing the show in an uncharacteristically lighthearted turn. --Bill Desowitz

how to steal a million:
I have kids from 7 to 15 in age and our whole family enjoyed this video. It was funny and fine for kids 7 and older.
Old movies are the best!:
I just love the old movies! They are so much fun to go back to. And Audrey Hepburn was always terrific in EVERY movie she made!
Witty, great stars:
Peter O'toole and Audrey Hepburn are two of the best actors in the world. William Wyler is one of the greatest directors so why isn't this one the world's greatest films. It is a disappointment at 4 stars but I still liked it a lot. Lots of twists but they were sort of expected.
