William Wyler was at the end of his illustrious career when he decided to direct How To Steal a Million (1966). The deciding factor for Wyler, no doubt, had to be the opportunity to work with Audrey Hepburn once again. He had given Audrey her big break 13 years before with Roman Holiday. Everyone loved being around her, Wyler was no exception, having a special affinity for the cute actress. Despite the film's lackluster title, How To Steal a Million is quite good. It starts out as a romantic comedy and introduces some great "heist" elements along the way. The other cast members are fine as well... Peter O'Toole, Eli Wallach, Charles Boyer...
