How to Steal a Million Reviews
Don't burn bridges with burglars
Mr. Bonnet (Hugh Griffith) has an eye for fine art of the masters. You might say he also has a hand for it -- from counterfeiting. A burglary is interrupted by his daughter, Nicole Bonnet (Audrey Hepburn). Realizing that the police may bring the less than genuine art under scrutiny she lets him off easy.
Mr. Bonnet is generous enough to allow one of his (forged) art pieces to be temporarily displayed in a local museum. With an estimated value of one million dollars, naturally they want to insure it until it is returned so an authenticator is scheduled to arrive the next day. By now the film title makes sense. Parts of the movie are a bit silly but enjoyable nonetheless -- after all HOW TO STEAL A MILLION is a romantic comedy highlighting Hepburn's superb acting talent. Equally appreciated on the DVD is the well documented 45-minute biography chronicling Hepburn's rise to stardom -- which in itself is worth the price paid.
Movie quote: "You don't think I'd steal something that didn't belong to me."

How To Steal A MIllion
I adore this film. It's so cute,and O'Toole and Hepburn gives hilarious performances. It's all about a young girl {Hepburn} who's father's best talent is forging art by the masters. He sells a forged statue for a million dollars to a museum in Paris,and Audrey decides to steal it back before her father is found out,with a little help from thief Peter O'Toole,not knowing that he's really a private eye in fake art! It's so funny,and you'll be laughing from beginning to end. It's directed very stylishly,but if you take the film seriously,it won't be any fun. You just have to sit back and think of nothing and watch it. The bio on the DVD about Audrey is a nice little film for Audrey collectors,and the ability to flip to scene to scene is really swell. I give this film 5 stars. You're sure to love it!
