DVD Review e-zine

There are certain films they just donâ��t make any more and these charming crime capers like "How To Steal A Million" are just some of them, sadly. I am not entirely sure, why these romanticized, playful and funny films that were full of atmosphere are ...read the complete How to Steal a Million movie review at DVD Review e-zine

How to Steal a Million (1966) squeaks its way into part of Foxâ��s Studio Classics, which only prompts the question of what determines in classic to be introduced into this series for Fox, especially considering some of the titles previously released ...read the complete How to Steal a Million movie review at Fulvue Drive-in

Crazy for Cinema (Lisa Skrzyniarz)

HOW TO STEAL A MILLION is a lovely, fluffy, romantic caper comedy where the danger is innocuous and the clothes are fantastic. Though I haven't seen many of either Hepburn's or O'Toole's films, the ones I have watched are pure heaven. The main reason ...read the complete How to Steal a Million movie review at Crazy for Cinema (Lisa Skrzyniarz)

The Stop Button (Andrew Wickliffe)

I think I might hate â��cute.â�� Or at least the pseudo-realistic â��cuteâ�� that permeated film through the 1950s and 1960s, when the films became so much about enjoying the actorsâ�� charisma, there was no sense of any reality to the filmsâ�� ...read the complete How to Steal a Million movie review at The Stop Button (Andrew Wickliffe)

Reel Film Reviews (David Nusair)

Though How to Steal a Million eventually becomes quite engaging, the overlong and ultimately pointless opening 45-minutes makes it almost impossible to get to that point. Director William Wyler (working from a script by Harry Kurnitz) takes his time in ...read the complete How to Steal a Million movie review at Reel Film Reviews (David Nusair)

DVDBeaver

How to Steal A Million was one of several elaborate heist comedies that formed sort of a subgenre in the 60's (Topkapi and Gambit to name a few others) This was Hepburn's first film after My Fair Lady and marked her last collaboration with William Wyler ...read the complete How to Steal a Million movie review at DVDBeaver

It may not be Ocean's Eleven or even The Thomas Crown Affair, but William Wyler's How to Steal A Million serves up a slick, romantic heist that's easy to digest and lovely to look at. Paris provides the intoxicating backdrop, and Audrey Hepburn and Peter ...read the complete How to Steal a Million movie review at digitallyOBSESSED.com (David Krauss)

Quick - whoâ��s received the most Oscar nominations for Best Director? Steven Spielberg? Nope - Senor Spielbergo is stuck at five nods to date. David Lean? Good guess, but he never passed seven selections. Billy Wilder? He lands in second place with ...read the complete How to Steal a Million movie review at DVD MovieGuide

DVD Verdict (Jesse Ataide)

Thirteen years after he unveiled Audrey Hepburn to the world in the charming romance Roman Holiday, director William Wyler teamed up with the international icon to make another light romantic comedy.

DVD Talk (Stuart Galbraith IV)

How to Steal a Million (1966) is a heist comedy with everything going for it: William Wyler, a 12-time Best Director nominee (with three wins); star power to spare in Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole in their first and only film together; some good ...read the complete How to Steal a Million movie review at DVD Talk (Stuart Galbraith IV)

PopMatters (Kevin Jagernauth)

As the music and movie industries crack down on illegal file-sharing, it is amusing to watch How to Steal a Million, which shrugs off the crime of art forgery in the name of love. Art forger Bonnet (Hugh Griffith) lends a prestigious French museum a fake ...read the complete How to Steal a Million movie review at PopMatters (Kevin Jagernauth)

Combustible Celluloid (Jeffrey M. Anderson)

In 1953, Audrey Hepburn made her starring debut in Roman Holiday, directed by William Wyler. Though Wyler's films generally lack in personality, Hepburn's charisma was more than enough to make the picture a smashing success. Thirteen years later, the duo ...read the complete How to Steal a Million movie review at Combustible Celluloid (Jeffrey M. Anderson)
