William Wyler directs this comedy starring Audrey Hepburn and Peter O’Toole. Charles Bonnet (Hugh Griffith) is an art collector with a difference; he is also an expert forger and all his masterpieces are fakes. Charles lends his "priceless" Cellini Venus to a museum in Paris, but his cover is nearly blown when they decide to carry out tests on the statue. He enlists his innocent and honest daughter Nicole (Hepburn) along with Simon Dermott (O’Toole), a cat burglar, to steal the Venus back. As the chemistry develops between Nicole and Simon, so does their plan to steal a million.
