CAST REVIEWS Review by Wilde_hewlett (posted on 14-Dec-2007) In this sparkling 60's film set in beautiful Paris and zippy one-liners, Peter O'Toole and Audrey Hepburn shine.
The story revolves around Hepburn's character and her art-forger father who continuously sells his fakes to Parisian and international galleries at extortionate prices. This worries Hepburn and she wants him to stop but he can't and goes to far when he presents a 'lost Cellini Venus' to the world.
Enter O'Toole, a mysterious man who breaks into the house of Hepburn and tries to get away with her 'Van Gogh".
As the story moves on, the two become intertwined in robbery, deciept and comedic script.
Beautifully filmed, and arranged, this well-written gem is a classic.
