There will be door prizes!

ABOUT HOW TO STEAL A MILLION

The trouble starts when a forged sculpture winds up in a famous Paris museum. If experts determine that it is inauthentic, a legendary art collector's reputation will be tarnished. So his daughter Nicole (Audrey Hepburn) hires cat burglar Simon Dermott (Peter O'Toole) to steal the sculpture back before it's too late. The caper features diamonds by Cartier and a wardrobe by designer Hubert de Givenchy, whose longtime personal and professional relationship with Hepburn began with SABRINA and continued through seven other features, including the iconic BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S.
