Movie Reviews of How to Steal a Million
Movie Review: Classic caper, classy style
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie... saw it on tv a few years ago, and decided it would be one I'd like to pull out and watch more than once. Beautiful backgrounds, from Paris scenes to interior scenes to the classic cars, LOVE Audrey's wardrobe, and Peter O'Toole reminds me of Simon Bakers charecter on the Metalist - how can you resist? Great facial and body expressions from the French actors, Audrey and the actor who plays Audrey's father - they say more with their eye rolls and shrugs than a page of dialog, something you don't see much of today. Fun and light, full of eye candy - love it.
Oh - also includes a bio of Audrey from the Biography channel, as well as a version of the film with voice-overs from the directors daughter, and actor Eli Wallach, who was in the movie.
Movie Review: Parfait!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is intelligent, sophisticated, funny, warm and about as ingenious and clever as you can get. It's longer than I like a movie to be, but I loved every minute of it. And what's more, the robbery makes sense (giving nothing away), it would work, it's a devilish surprise but all believable. I liked it better than Ocean's 11 (not the original, I want nothing to do with sinatra), Ocean's 12 and The Thomas Crown Affair (again not the original which I thought was just nothing). The 2nd Thomas Crown was impossible which spoiled it, and Ocean's 11 and 12 were too complicated and far-fetched (though I liked all these movies anyway). And the 3 principals were a sheer delight to watch and listen to. I thought it was a warm, intelligent, clever movie.Movie Review: Oh, those blue eyes!
Summary: 5 Stars
Peter O'Toole's blue eyes are never bluer than in How To Steal A Million. Brilliantly paired with Audrey Hepburn, he appears as an Art thief at her father's luxurious home in Paris. She hires him to steal a forgery of her father's from a major museum and offers to abet the robbery. Life becomes very complicated and she realizes he may not be what he seems. Lots of eye gazing - and who wouldn't drown in those blue eyes of his? - and after much confusion and high jinks, the film resolves the mysteries while treating the viewers to Audrey's Givenchy wardrobe and Peter's high class pursual of her. Add in the fun farce provided by the Museum's guards and the terrific scenes of Paris and you have a wonderful film that is rarely shown on TV. Don't miss it!Movie Review: Slipped by me for years
Summary: 5 Stars
I love O'Toole and Hepburn. They're two of my favorite screen stars. But I'd never seen this movie until recently. I just can't believe this movie slipped by me for 40-some years. It's truly magic. Love, love, love this movie. They have both made some great movies, but there's certainly something special about this one. O'Toole and Hepburn are amazing together. Some of the best duo-chemistry ever filmed. This is a funny, light and charming winner. One of Hepburn's best. Up there with My Fair Lady and Funny Face. It's one of O'Toole's best comedies, up there with My Favorite Year.
If you have not seen this movie, put it on the top of your list. You'll love it.
Movie Review: where is this DVD?
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite of all Audrey Hepburn movies. Audrey lives with her grandfather who is a sweet, charming and delightful criminal. He has copied a famous statue which he is passing as the real thing. Peter O'Toole is the character sent to check out the authenticity of the statue. He falls for Audrey and helps her to steal the fake from the museum before the dear grandfather is discovered. Audrey's comic timing is perfect and she has great chemistry with O'Toole who is as handsome as can be. You will adore this movie so lets get this thing digitized!!!!
