Of all the Hepburn films I have watched so far, this is definitely one of my favorites! How to Steal a Million came along 13 years after her big success in Roman Holiday-and she has evolved into a stylish, accomplished actress. Audrey & Peter O'Toole are great together and the plot couldn't be funnier. Audrey herself is hysterical as the daughter of an accomplished art forger trying to keep her father out of prison: she shoots an intruder with an ancient pistol, drives her cute convertible like a NASCAR professional, and recruits O'Toole's help in a 'big time caper' in the best looking black lace dress & mask I've ever seen a thief wear. (Givenchy designed her wardrobe for this movie, and for all her movies from the time of their first meeting in 1953 on the set of Sabrina" onward. He & Hepburn were great friends.)
The film did not win any awards for director William Wyler, who also directed Hepburn in several other of her projects, but it wins big with me! I loved it!
