O’Toole appears as Simon Dermott, caught by Audrey Hepburn sneaking through her house clutching a forged painting. Hepburn plays Nicole Bonnet, the daughter of genius art fraud Charles Bonnet (Griffith). The central theme of the movie is the recovery from a Parisian museum of a fake Cellini committed by Bonnet’s grandfather, before its discovery and exposure as such, and is enlivened by the romantic angle between the characters played by O’Toole and Hepburn.
