That fawnlike look is Audrey's special domain as a comedienne, and her partner in crime on this elegant occasion is Peter O'Toole, also treading very lightly as a debonair art-world detective whom Audrey has mistaken for a fellow burglar. Together they hurdle a large chunk of plot by stealing a marble Cellini nude from a Paris art museum, armed only with a magnet, a boomerang and a mop bucket...
