How to Steal a Million Overview:
How to Steal a Million (1966) was a Comedy - Crime Film directed by William Wyler and produced by Fred Kohlmar.
SYNOPSIS
A million-dollar art museum heist is the chewy center of this chocolate truffle as the dashing O'Toole and precious Hepburn pair off in an aristocratic romantic comedy. The daughter of a Parisian art collector (Hepburn), in truth a forger, unwittingly solicits the aid of a man she believes to be a thief (O'Toole) to steal a famous "Cellini Venus" statue - sculpted by her grandfather - from a museum. But in actuality, the "thief" is a private detective specializing in exposing forgeries. The chemistry of the two leads makes this well worth the watch.
