How to Steal a Million - 8 stars out of 10

How to Steal a Million - 8 stars out of 10

“How to Steal a Million” has everything that you love about art, romance, comedy, and heist films.  The creative story is unlike any that I’ve ever experienced, placing the main character in a position where she needs to steal her own painting out of an art museum.  While the story has romance, it is driven by the strong will of the leading lady and Audrey Hepburn is the perfect candidate for the role.  I’m pretty sure that she is infallible, bringing charm and style to every role that she has ever played.  Her charisma is matched by Peter O’Toole, who pairs well with the suave sophistication of this burglar.  Their chemistry may be more of a masterpiece than the artwork displayed throughout the film.  Once you add in the witty dialogue and the comedy provided by Hugh Griffith and François-Alexandre Galepides (a.k.a. Moustache), this film is a well-rounded crowd-pleaser.  “How to Steal a Million” is a classic and should be on every movie-lover’s list.
