A very refined and elegant Hollywood comedy.
Directors such as William Wyler and Billy Wilder are standard Hollywood directors or masters. They are well versed in Hollywood's narrative laws and value orientations. The films they directed have clever and reasonable plots, clear narratives, as precise details as possible, elegant and restrained performances, meticulous composition, smooth and smooth camera movements, and rigorous productions. They are the "good tradition" of Hollywood. They are the representatives of "Classic Hollywood".
Audrey Hepburn is still noble, and Peter O'Toole is always an elegant English gentleman.
The "opening the door" section of the film when stealing the Venus sculpture is very similar to the "opening the door" section of Melville's "Great Dawn" when stealing drugs. I don't know if Melville was influenced by the film when he made "The Great Dawn".
The Chinese translation of the film "Steal the Dragon and Turn the Phoenix" is far from the original English name, and far from the content of the film. But I haven't come up with an ideal translation name.
