In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

One particular line, said by Nicole Bonnet (Audrey Hepburn) in a stupefied voice, accurately sums up my overall feelings: "Marvelous."The comedy! When it comes to the jokes, screenwriter George Bradshaw is a sharpshooter. And of course, with any comedy that works, a portion of the applause should be directed towards the pair of lead actors and their chemistry. EVERY SECOND that Hepburn and O'Toole shared the screen, my smile, which seemed to always be there, widened. My love for Audrey has long since been established, but here is where I fell for Peter, who I'd dare say stole the movie; he was SO damn good, and SO damn charming. It's this couple's likability that contributes to the nervous excitement of the heist suggested in the title.And that heist! That entire playful sequence, from the planning to the finale, was a blast. Wyler seamlessly wove scenes that filled me with anxiousness with those that had me grinning at the delightful comedy and romance. It was so creative and so much fun to sit through.I wish I had more words to praise this picture, but a first viewing and a lack of an imagination restrict me. To wrap this up: this being my first Wyler unfairly sets the bar at a dizzying height for the second.

First of all, full disclosure: I had a GIGUNDA crush on Peter O' Toole as a young girl, and this film catches him at a moment in his life when he not only looked crazy fabulous, but appears to be having the time of his life with this gossamer wing of a tale with... who else? The Queen of Gossamer Wing Tales herself, Audrey Hepburn. But above and beyond these two knockouts and the delightful chemistry they have together, and their wonderful cast (most notably Hugh Griffiths as Audrey's father), we have Paris, we have that enchanting musical title theme, we have that stunningly gorgeous house they live in, and those cars! Peter's citrine Jaguar XKE has to be the sexiest car that has ever been filmed. I don't even know what Audrey's car was but it is SO adorable and chic - whoever chose the cars should have been nominated for an Oscar for that alone. The script is clever, the Givenchy outfits are lovely, and Wiliam Wyler directs with such a light touch. Come visit the Paris of 1966 and watch Peter and Audrey fall in love!

This delightful, light, sophisticated caper is the kind that they tragically don't make anymore. Instead, the new generation has to content themselves with the tasteless, crude sex farces that pass for romantic comedies these days, with Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughan. I'm glad I'm not young anymore.Wilder is one of the best directors ever, whether he makes serious films (Stalag 17, Sunset Boulevard), or comedies (Some Like It Hot and this one). HTSAM has everything: romance, luxurious settings, a clever plot, witty dialogue, and Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole. Who could ask for more? I noticed that someone called this film 'sexist.' You know, it's truly a pity that some of my gender sisters insist on living in a state of perpetual (bleep)-tightedness and persist in finding sexism under every carpet. It must suck to be them. 'Feisty,' they call themselves. Seriously? Any woman who spends her life wailing, "Oh, woe's me. I am a woman, therefore, a victim" is merely a victim of a major inferiority complex and about as feisty as a wet rag. Nobody respects a wet rag, understandably enough.If you want to relax and forget about the world (and about whiny self-appointed victims) for a couple of hours, pour yourself a drink and watch this charming film.

Not only did I see this better film when I was younger, and to be honest, it's a lot more enjoyable! Peter O'Toole and Audrey Hepburn have SO MUCH more chemistry together in this film, than in Charades with Cary Grant. That film was all-round dark, weird, and didn't make much sense.THIS film was light-hearted, had it's somewhat dark moments that were quick & made sense, and the film was able to be funny & smart.I just love the whole movie first hanging on the possibility that the main male character could be lying, and it turns out he wasn't a burglar but a detective instead! It's funny, 'cause at the end of the film Audrey Hepburn decides to play her own game of lying.All the more I've gotta say is, I don't want to spoil anything, go watch this movie! It deserves more attention! 8/10
