It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The acting in this movie is really good.

One particular line, said by Nicole Bonnet (Audrey Hepburn) in a stupefied voice, accurately sums up my overall feelings: "Marvelous."The comedy! When it comes to the jokes, screenwriter George Bradshaw is a sharpshooter. And of course, with any comedy that works, a portion of the applause should be directed towards the pair of lead actors and their chemistry. EVERY SECOND that Hepburn and O'Toole shared the screen, my smile, which seemed to always be there, widened. My love for Audrey has long since been established, but here is where I fell for Peter, who I'd dare say stole the movie; he was SO damn good, and SO damn charming. It's this couple's likability that contributes to the nervous excitement of the heist suggested in the title.And that heist! That entire playful sequence, from the planning to the finale, was a blast. Wyler seamlessly wove scenes that filled me with anxiousness with those that had me grinning at the delightful comedy and romance. It was so creative and so much fun to sit through.I wish I had more words to praise this picture, but a first viewing and a lack of an imagination restrict me. To wrap this up: this being my first Wyler unfairly sets the bar at a dizzying height for the second.

This was a great film that showcased the talents of Peter O'Toole and Audrey Hepburn. The sophistication and simplicity of this film is a treat to watch. One should bear in mind that this was made in the 1960s and a careful and intensive heist was not necessary in those days like today. Guards and security alarms were as advanced as you could get. So considering the times this is a really well executed robbery and one you can really enjoy. Comedy and romance effortlessly flow in this classic as Audrey tries to steal back a forgery because of her father. The plans by her and Peter O'Toole are well thought of and quite clever for its time. This film should entertain and stimulate the viewer's interest as to how they pull this grand robbery off.

Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole are two of the most charismatic actors of all time. Complement their talent with a charming script and harmless direction from Hepburn regular, William Wyler, and you get a fun 2 hour ride.Hepburn plays the daughter of an art forger who comes up the brilliant idea of stealing the very piece of art forged by her father, worth 1 million dollars, which is sitting in a 'highly' guarded museum. Of course, her reason for stealing the sculpture is so that her father isn't caught, but you're better off suspending disbelief for this plot point and every other one in this crime- comedy.Hepburn and O'Toole have magnetic chemistry and share several laugh out loud moments in the heist. I think the problem is that it just takes a little bit too long to get going. With that and it's over the top nature, I can see why people wouldn't be keen on considering it one of Hepburn's best, it's not. With that said, it's hard not to become invested in O'Toole and Hepburn's budding romance throughout and the film's undeniably funny moments. The tone is very much in the same vein as the Wyler classic, Roman Holiday, also starring Hepburn. Once you get past the ridiculousness of the plot, I think you can enjoy the picture.The film never reaches the heights of similar films like, To Catch a Thief, but I'm not sure it was intended to. Although, Hepburn can be seen holding an Alfred Hitchcock magazine at one point, possibly paying tribute to the crime classic which was released 10 years prior. At the very least, it got me thinking about how great a Hepburn-Hitchcock collaboration could have been. Overall, 'How to Steal a Million' deals with a simple plot and ridiculously over-the- top museum guards among other things, but it's a fun time. And that's all I can really ask from a 60's comedy.+Hepburn & O'Toole's chemistry+Undeniably funny-Ridiculous plot-Slow start and a little too long7.5/10

Plot: Forger's daughter enlists a burglar to get Papa out of a jam. Drive-in Rating: Circle the block! Bonus: Filmed in Paris! I find this Audrey Hepburn/Peter O'Toole delight is rarely known by classic movie fans, which is an outright travesty. For the modern movie fan, it ranks up there with the best rom-coms and is one of the best from the 60's! It's the movie that started my love affair with O'Toole who is so utterly charming. Hepburn is enchanting as ever, playing a devoted daughter and no-nonsense novice thief. I dare you not to fall for them both! There's plenty of star power in addition to the leads: Eli Wallach, Hugh Griffith, Charles Boyer, etc. Equally delightful are the witty nuances and dialogue as well as a plot that's a little silly but still keeps you thinking (example, the nod to Hitchcock). The father/daughter relationship makes for especially enjoyable banter.
