How to Steal a Million (1966)

How to Steal a Million

How to Steal a Million, directed by William Wyler from a screenplay by Harry Kurnitz, was released by Twentieth Century-Fox in July 1966. Audrey Hepburn plays Nicole Bonnet, daughter of a Parisian art forger, who recruits Peter O'Toole's Simon Dermott to steal her father's fake Cellini Venus from a museum before an insurance examination exposes it. Hubert de Givenchy dressed Hepburn throughout, in one of the collaborations that made her wardrobe a standing designer reference. (IMDb)

Watches

Cartier Tank

Worn by Audrey Hepburn as Nicole Bonnet. Montres de Luxe identifies Nicole's watch as a Cartier Tank and names no model. (Montres de Luxe) The family had been in continuous production since 1919 by the time of filming and spans materially different models, so the row links the line rather than guessing at a Louis Cartier, a Cintree, or a Must. The pairing is coherent with everything else on screen: a Givenchy-dressed Parisienne in a film about the difference between a genuine object and a convincing copy, wearing the one wristwatch design whose value has always been its drawing rather than its mechanism.
