How to Steal a Million

10/10/2008, reviewed by Amanda Evans

Starring Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole, this movie is plain, old fashioned, light-hearted fun. Devoted to her art fraud father, Audrey Hepburn enlists the help of the sophisticated and dashing thief she caught breaking into their home. Together they sneak into a museum to steal back the fraudulent statue that her grandfather made and her grandmother posed for before it gets tested by experts and her father's crooked talents are exposed.

Though Audrey Hepburn doesn't glide stealthily through a field of laser beams and Peter O'Toole's tools are quite a bit less high-tech than some of his more modern counterparts, the simplicity of this movie is part of its charm. Well-written and well-acted, this is a fun flick the whole family can enjoy.
