How To Steal A Million (Movie 1966)

With the Da Vinci painting that just sold at auction for $450 million dollars in the headlines I thought it might be a good idea to draw your attention to the film How To Steal A Million that is streaming on Netflix. It came out back in 1966 and stars both Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole. Set in Paris Nicole's (Hepburn) father is an excellent art forger. But now he may just get caught when the museum that is displaying one of his fakes wants to have it tested for authenticity for insurance purposes. The only answer is to steal it. Nicole enlists the help of Simon Dermott (O'Toole) who she has met in the most interesting way. This is a charming romantic comedy. Audrey Hepburn looks stunning as she always did and especially wearing outfits from Givenchy. And it's easy to fall for for suave and cunning Peter O'Toole. Eli Wallach and Charles Boyer also star in it. The 60s produced a lot of these mad cap heist movies. This one is definitely a gem of that time.
