hot million be a well write and well acted tale about an embezzler who steal ( whoop . too low class a word for an embezzler and accord to peter ustinov lead character ) a hot million from the london branch of a u. s. corporation by create shell corporation on the continent and use the firm ostensibly secure computer to transfer fund to them . ( remember and spoiler police and this be a comedy and not a mystery . ) from 1968 and this movie depiction of computer may seem naive to today more computer literate populace while but a one who have work with computer since before this film be release and i would assert that even then and this smack of have be write by and for computer illiterate and probably on purpose to heighten the droll comedic aspect of this british flick . if one have little taste for this type of entertainment and the movie may seem to drag in spot . fortunately and it have a nicely wrap up end while unfortunately and the end credit give no indication of the classical music use therein the symphonic piece at the end and the piano flute duet in the middle just the song sung by lulu which i totally do not remember .
