    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      After Nicole dresses up as a cleaning lady, Simon Dermott says, "That does it. For one thing, it gives Givenchy a night off." Hubert de Givenchy was Audrey Hepburn's costume designer.
    • Goofs
      When Bonnet gives the curator the statue, the curator touches the white marble with his bare hands. A real curator would never touch a marble work of art with bare hands, as the oils from the skin can stain the marble, turning it yellow. Curators always wear white gloves before touching any work of art.
    • Quotes

      Nicole Bonnet: Your arm is much better.

      Simon Dermott: Oh no no, it hurts, it hurts.

      Nicole Bonnet: It's the other arm.

      Simon Dermott: The infection is spreading.

    AUDREY THE GREATEST!
    Somehow Audrey Hepburn made fluffy romantic caper movies look

    like high art. Take this adorable trifle directed by William Wyler

    with Audrey looking glorious in her trademark Givenchy clothing.

    Audrey could have phone in a performance, but she's totally

    enchanting as always, making us overlook the seams in the script.

    She's beautifully supported by Peter O'Toole, who never looked

    handsomer or more Cary Grant-ish in his life as Simon, the art

    expert who gets talked into stealing Audrey's father's statue of the

    Cellini Venus back from the museum when it is learned the statue

    has to be authenticated for insurance purposes.

    Hugh Griffith, as Audrey's father, is a delightful rogue of an art

    forger and Charles Boyer and Eli Wallach just add to the fun. The

    actual theft of the statue is quite ingenious, if a little too drawn out.

    Still, here's two hours of pure enchantment. That Ferrari still looks

    good nearly forty years later, and if Audrey was walking down Fifth

    Avenue, dressed in Givenchy's stunning creations today, she'd

    cause a riot. Check out that lace cocktail dress with the matching

    lace mask at the bar of the Ritz in Paris! It doesn't get any chicer

    than this.
