Review:
I believe that in 1966, this film, and even in color, certainly caused a lot of excitement. The plot is criminal, the film is a comedy,on the screen there is a love story and an ingenious trick. Besides, there is very beautiful Audrey Hepburn from who I expected much more, and there is Peter O'Toole who is also very handsome. Here is a lovely duet.
However, the film left me cold. Most of the scenes in the museum are naive. By logic, after disarming the alarm the chief had to send at least one person on duty to sculpture. But it did not happen, they just turned off and calm down. Of course, I realize that it is a comedy but not to such an extent !!!
This is the first movie with Audrey Hepburn, which I watched and I do not like her in this movie. Neither looks nor acting. Peter O'Toole's character strongly resembled James Bond: elegant, smart, intelligent, even aristocratic and comprehensive ironic. But the character still came out interesting.
In general, the film too prolonged. It took too much time for audience to get into the swing and too long to show the events at the museum. I think I don't want to revisit this film.

Slips:
... the chief WAS TO HAVE SENT at least one person on duty to THE sculpture.
But it did not happen, they just turned THE ALARM off and calmED down.
... even aristocratic and comprehensiveLY ironic.
In general, the film WAS TOO LONG.
It TAKES VIEWERS much time to get into the swing and THE SCENE at the museum IS TOO LONG.
