William Wyler directs Audrey Hepburn, Peter O’Toole and Eli Wallach in this romantic caper where a hobbying art forger’s daughter employs a strange fellow she finds robbing her mansion to recover an incriminating work of fakery from a museum.

The stars have fizzing chemistry, Hepburn’s Givenchy wardrobe is divine and the daft plot keeps them in near constant proximity to take full advantage of these strengths. A sugary lark, powered by well-matched stars and picture postcard perfect Paris location work.
