Review Summary and Plot Commentary about How to Steal a Million
How to Steal a Million is a witty romantic comedy about Parisian aristocrat Nicole (Audrey Hepburn) who's father is an art forger. The trouble starts when her father gives one of his creations to a museum. However, the museum's standard technical examination will reveal that the "Venus" is a fake.
