How To Steal A Million | Soundtrack Suite (John Williams)

[@jorgemondioncabrera6456]

Excellent comedy, music by John Williams and the nice Audrey Hepburn. One of my favourites comedies.

[@shankarbalan3813]

One of the most stylish films ever. The films of the 1950’s and 1960’s were the best. This film makes me want to go to Paris again and again and again.

[@12classics39]

I’m just gonna go out there and say this might be the greatest romantic comedy of all time - in the top 10 at the very least. It has everything: two brilliant stars with perfect chemistry, likable characters, a healthy compatible onscreen relationship full of fun but also devotion, a perfect meet-cute, side-splitting dialogue, a zany story, fantastic music, gorgeous production and costume design, impeccable style, and some gripping suspense in the big climactic heist.

[@mguevarra61]

I just saw this film and can't get this theme out of my mind. I know that this is a very early Williams score but boy, is it brilliant. Absolutely infectious, totally riddled with hooks and impossible to forget.

[@unowen-nh9ov]

& so unlike anything that would follow.

[@jkbrown5313]

Look up JW "The Rare Breed" a couple years earlier. Love it

[@SidFortune]

How to Steal a Million was one of those thoroughly enjoyable, glossy, Hollywood enjoyments with the kind of stars we all wanted to be. The score is a perfect match for the romantic romp and the kind of movie one would take a date to see on a screen as large as Montana.

[@kewl-asian]

Everything about this movie is beautiful

[@alexiatridis6898]

so nice movie, so nice soundtracks.. it's been a week i saw it, and still accompanies me during my hard working days :)

[@jkbrown5313]

So cool that "Johnny Williams" was the composer. LOL Love it

[@FuturamaFiz]

Ever since I watched this film, the E-type Jag has become my dream car ....love this film and its brilliant music!

[@unowen-nh9ov]

It was used in several movies, IMCDB should be able to direct you. Villains destroy 1 in Dead Man's Treasure in The Avengers, Simon Templar was supposed to drive 1 in The Saint but factory wouldn't cooperate so Volvo got the job, they had to put Minilites on it to sex it up.

[@DMfilmfan]

Everything about this movie is wonderful and charming. And Peter telling Audrey that disguising herself like a cleaning woman "Gives Givenchy the night off" is classic!

[@northeything8568]

I'm almost sure it was ad-libbed by O'Toole 😊

[@GevEdgar]

¡One of beloved flickers of my childhood!

[@jackkrom]

Wisdom is realizing that your parents were right -- the best movies are from the 50s and 60s. Quality talent in Hollywood reached its zenith, never to attain that peak again.

[@dogharvest635]

Indeed, only i would add early seventies to that list. KZbin and computer games have almost killed television and cinema....

[@yaffayafo82]

And thirties and forties.

[@oneinsixcom]

My children watch oldies with me. From 1930s to now. Still prefer modern but they realise how Seven Samurai changed film making .

[@xiyyea5205]

old times good, new times bad XD

[@unowen-nh9ov]

William Wyler made Bette Davis a star in the '30's & directed Best Picture in the '40's & the '50's.

[@xhaxha1028]

gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous and so helplessly, hopelessly romantic - I'm instantly back in Paris in Peter's yellow XKE Jaguar (possibly the sexiest car ever filmed in the movies) wondering how in the world could I be so lucky as to have two hours with this spectacular gift from God?

[@cerliezio]

What happened to the beautiful world we once knew? People were elegant Cars so beautiful like the Xke and Paris oh yes Paris was so ,, Paris I would have never thought back then that things would turn up so ugly-

[@unowen-nh9ov]

​@@cerliezioEnjoy it now b4 it incinerates & floods.

[@tsf5-productions]

As "Soundtrack Fred" stated several years ago when this was published on KZbin...it's a classical. The 1960's had lots of good movies, and with film screen composer, John Williams, one was in for a real treat in a music score. The main actors: O'Toole and Hepburn must have been something. They were at their prime in motion pictures. I have Peter O'Toole as one of my top 10 best actors. He was a master at literally all the films he was in.

[@jslasher1]

Vintage JTW. A wonderful look back on a remarkable career.

[@unowen-nh9ov]

What a collection! Thank you, Fred, now I know how I'm wasting next few years of my life: same way I started wasting it, this time as a memory test, & to learn new (to me) scores. Cheers!♥

[@dave21286]

Breakfast at Tiffany's is deservedly praised, but I find this a more elegant film. I also like the supporting cast better than in the other Hepburn film of this era, Charade. The supporting cast in Charade (other than Grant) leaves a lot to be desired. Peter O'Toole is especially good in this film. A VERY underrated Hepburn classic.

[@unowen-nh9ov]

William Wyler, homage to Ernst Lubitsch.

[@unowen-nh9ov]

Blake Edwards made Pink Panther movies, William Wyler made Best Picture Oscar winners. But watch Edward's wife Dame Julie Andrews in S.O.B. & That's Life! Brilliant.

[@sheilabloom6735]

Love this movie; know it by heart. “Too much togetherness.”

[@12classics39]

In terms of entertainment value, this film is flawless.

[@lepetitchat123]

I also prefer this film to Breakfast at Tiffany's

[@TheGuitarded1]

Nice music. The composer sounds like he'd be great with action-adventure films. Hope he gets more work 👍

[@northeything8568]

Aaaah to be young and discover music like this ! Check out 'The Rare Breed ', 'Jaws' , 'The Towering Inferno', 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind', ' Raiders of the Lost Ark ',' Jurassic Park ', etc...

[@kevinfahey5240]

Fun, lightweight Williams, this was the first time he worked with a major director William Wyler and still years before he met Spielberg. 1941 is reminiscent of this early effort.

[@hegzansiaani9213]

Great work

[@sheilabloom6735]

My favorite movie. “Too much togetherness.” 😅😅

[@unowen-nh9ov]

In a broom closet!

[@emerybayblues]

Didn't know John Williams scored this film.

[@GroundhogDayisAWESOME]

I know!

[@nigelbenton880]

Very likeable film - was every Audrey Hepburn movie of the 60s shot in France? - but love that era of soundtracks: To Catch a Thief, An Affair to Remember, The Pink Panther, Paris when it Sizzles, Houseboat, Charade, Two for the Road etc

[@nikosvault]

Wait Until Dark and The Children's Hour were both shot in L.A.

[@unowen-nh9ov]

Magic.

[@notaire2]

A million dollars were quite something in the sixties, but thanks to the inflation worth less than a hundred thousand today. Anyway, a beautiful masterpiece representing the beautiful sixties.

[@TheAmishGamer]

That’s... that’s not how maths works... that’s not how *any* of this works.

[@expressnumber]

1 million in ‘66 USD is worth about 8 million today

[@unowen-nh9ov]

This might actually be Wyler's tribute to Ernst Lubitsch, who began in silent pictures & was revered by Wyler & Wilder, both masters themselves.

[@leostales2681]

John Williams looks so young!

[@unowen-nh9ov]

He was. We all were. Expo '67, 🇨🇦 was only 100!

[@carreiromanuel]

Charm and class. What else ?

[@christophermacintyre5890]

strong Mancini and L. Bernstein (in the overture) influence here

[@northeything8568]

Yes, thought the same !!

[@kamlinchung]

I want to know where to get the score.

Double like

[@eugeneschuyler2675]

This music theme is good for both Paris and London as one is trapsing around and having fun......it is brilliant

[@madeofcobble]

I know! What happened to Europe! This was Europe once, we had a great culture which we are now trying to drown with PC bullshit! Time to realize that some cultures are better than others! We should not have welcomed bad cultures into our own. This is a world now gone, thanks to that!

[@unowen-nh9ov]

No London in this 1.

If you listen to both more than a couple times they don’t really sound that similar. Besides, like many film composers he was probably told to write something in a similar vein.
