How to Steal a Million

(1966)

THE SETUP Nicole (Audrey Hepburn), the daughter of a millionaire art forger, teams up with dashing cat burglar Simon (Peter O'Toole).

THE JOB Steal a purportedly valuable ''Cellini Venus'' statue that Nicole's father lent to a museum, before the sculpture is appraised and outed as a fake.

THE CATCH The immediate sparks between Nicole and Simon threaten to distract them from the job at hand.

DOES CRIME PAY? Yes — not only does Nicole fall in love, but she also gets to traipse around Paris wearing fabulous Givenchy fashions. And winsome Hepburn pulls off the best heist, stealing hearts every time she's on screen.
