The finer things in life are free (and sometimes fake)!
Based on George
Bradshaw’s short story "Venus Rising," How To Steal a Million stars
Audrey Hepburn as Nicole Bonnet, the adoring daughter of an artist (Hugh
Griffith) whose greatest talent is forging works by the masters.
When her father
lends a replica of Cellini’s most noted statue to a Parisian museum claiming
that it’s the original, Nicole recruits handsome, high-stakes thief Simon
Dermott (Peter O’Toole) to steal it back before it’s discovered to be a fake.
But Mr. Bonnet’s artwork isn’t all that’s phony, as Dermott turns out to be a
detective specializing in stolen art.
Also starring Eli Wallach and Charles
Boyer, this delightful film about falsehood provides real entertainment.
