"Any fool can steal. l've been embezzling." The con is on in Hot MilIions, a droll caper whose wit and warmth recaII the EaIing Studios romps of the 1950s. Peter Ustinov heads an engaging cast and co-scripts the Oscar-nominated screenplay about a dapper rogue (Ustinov) who uses a corporation's mainframe computer to issue checks to bogus companies, then proceeds to cash the checks. WhiIe he's stealing (sorry, embezzIing) miIIions, deIightfuI Maggie Smith nearly steaIs the show as a featherheaded secretary. KarI MaIden as a piII-gobbIing CEO and Bob Newhart, he of the button-down mind, add to the affable fun. "When it was over, l realized that I'd been smiling for two house" (Stanley Kauffmann, The New RepubIic). |
