"That's why...........Explain it to me again....."
Nicole (Hepburn) is worried about her father, a master forger of paintings, who decides to donate his Cellini "Venus" statue to a museum in their hometown of Paris. When the museum tells him that someone will need to authenticate it for insurance purposes (it will be insured for $1 million), both Nicole and her father know that disaster is looming, because of course the Venus is a fake, having been sculpted by Nicole's grandfather many years ago.
After catching a thief in their home, Nicole comes up with a plan to save her father from prison. She hires the thief (O'Toole) to steal the Venus before it can be authenticated. The only problem with this is the thief isn't exactly who he seems to be.
This is a fun heist film. It's hilarious and romantic. Bottom Line: You'll love it.
Peter O'Toole's eyes! Swoon!!
