How to Steal a Million. Movie Review

   ‘How to Steal a Million’ is a heist comedy with Audrey Hepburn and Peter O’Toole. The movie was first shown on the big screen in 1966. It was directed by William Wyler, who also directed “Roman Holiday” in 1953 and “Wuthering Heights” in 1939. ‘How to Steal a Million’ is based on a story written by George Bradshaw in 1962. The screenwriter was Harry Kurnitz.

   Nicole plays the daughter of an art collector who forges masterpieces. When her father gets into some difficulty, and in the hope of helping him, Nicole decides to pull off a heist from a museum, and as a result, secretly asks for help from the man, who not long ago, broke into their house.

   John Williams composed the music for this movie, which provided the perfect atmosphere. Unfortunately the box-office figures for this movie were much lower than previously expected by the filmmakers. However in spite of this, ‘How to Steal a Million’ is a light-hearted comedy. I guess those who will enjoy this film are those who like the whole French atmosphere. After all, the movie is set in Paris.
