How to Steal a Million: Audrey Hepburn, Peter O'Toole, in Paris. The plot line is cute and works so well with the two main actors. Audrey is sweet and honest, her dad likes to create artistic masterpieces in the styles of famous artists and pass those works off as authentic, which is only a recent problem when he decides to sell a few. She is paranoid that everyone around them is trying to prove the inauthenticity of the works of art, except she does not suspect a man (O'Toole) who she believes is an art thief. When one of the home-made works of art is on display at the museum and insured, a test of authenticity if required. But how to get this work of art from the museum before the testing day? Sweet and honest Audrey has to employ a more devious and dangerous plan to keep her family from scandal. And also entertaining are the relationships between the characters and how well Hepburn and O'Toole play off each other.
For the fashionistas, it's always fun when the opening credits have Audrey's wardrobe by Givenchy, jewelry by Cartier Paris. That made me pay more attention to the outfits, and there is a well-done 'third-wall joke' where Audrey wears a cleaning outfit and a joke is made that it "gives Givenchy a night off."
For a cute romantic comedy, and if you are craving some classic Audrey, I highly recommend How to Steal a Million. I watched it alone (while traveling), but I think this is one that could entertain the guys, too.
Also, there are pretty cars. I LOVE Audrey's red Autobianchi Bianchina Special Cabriolet. O'Toole's E-type Jaguar is also a sexy car.
PS: Givenchy designed for many Audrey movies (see link).
