How To Steal A Million (1966)‘Charles Bonnet (Hugh Griffith), the latest in a long line of master art forgers, loans one of his best works, a faux Cellini Venus, to a Paris museum despite his daughter Nicole’s (Audrey Hepburn) objections. Later, Nicole surprises a tuxedo-clad burglar (Peter O’Toole) in her father’s workshop. She can’t call the police because her father’s hobby might be discovered, so she ends up driving the man–Simon Dermott–back to his hotel. Dermott is actually an inspector who is gathering evidence against Bonnet, but his attraction to Nicole complicates the assignment. Nicole learns that the museum plans to conduct a test on the Venus for insurance purposes, which she knows will expose the statue as a fake. To save her father from jail, she asks Simon to steal it, unaware of his true identity. Simon, intrigued by the challenge and now smitten with Miss Bonnet, agrees to the proposal.’ I was feeling a little down today so decided to cheer myself up with a Hepburn movie while I was feeding baby J. I’d completely forgotten how much I love Audrey’s clothes, hair and make-up in this movie. The film has a real 60s vibe. Audrey is in full mod form and looks incredibly cool and edgy throughout. I love the pink coat and patent black boots she throws on to drive Peter O’Toole back to the Ritz. Her crazy ‘incognito’ outfit is also stunning… the matching lace stockings, dress and eye-mask. She wears some amazing hats and sunglasses in this movie, especially in the quirky white ensemble at the start of the film. Most of all I adore her eye make-up in this film. I’d really like to find a youtube video tutorial that might show me how to create something similar. As if Audrey’s presence isn’t enough to cheer me up, Peter O’Toole has the most amazing blue eyes and looks delicious in his dj!
