"Any fool can steal. l've been embezzling." The con is on in Hot MilIions, a droll caper whose wit and warmth recall the EaIing Studios romps of the 1950s. Peter Ustinov heads an engaging cast and co-scripts the Oscar-nominated screenpIay about a dapper rogue (Ustinov) who uses a corporation's mainframe computer to issue checks to bogus companies, then proceeds to cash the checks. While he's steaIing (sorry, embezzIing) milIions, delightfuI Maggie Smith nearIy steals the show as a featherheaded secretary. Karl Malden as a piIl-gobbling CEO and Bob Newhart, he of the button-down mind, add to the affabIe fun. "When it was over, I reaIized that l'd been smiIing for two house" (StanIey Kauffmann, The New RepubIic). |
