What's left behind the scenes
- At the time of the robbery, Nicole is reading a biography of Hitchcock.
- During an argument in the attic, Nicole's father says: "Van Gogh sold only one painting in his lifetime." This is actually true.
- During the screening of the film in the USSR, all the movie posters in Karaganda, Kazakh SSR, were defaced – to the title "How to Steal a Million," they added "Ask the Central Committee of the CPSU." This was connected to the investigation of the Soviet Fur Mafia case.
- The working title of the film was "How to Steal a Million Dollars and Live Happily Ever After."
- The jewelry worn by Audrey Hepburn was provided by the House of Cartier.
- Walter Matthau was initially considered for the role of the eccentric millionaire Liland, but his requested fee did not suit the producers. George C. Scott was next in line, but he was fired for being late on the first day of shooting. Ultimately, the role went to Eli Wallach.
- The Kleber-Lafayette Museum was filmed at the Carnavalet Museum in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, in the Marais district. The halls of the Kleber-Lafayette Museum were built on a soundstage in the Parisian suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt. For $100,000, production designer Alexandre Trauner assembled a collection of fake paintings by great artists, and for another $50,000, he acquired authentic antique frames for them.
- Filming began with scenes of Hepburn and O'Toole hiding in a museum closet, then stealing the 'Venus'. It took 11 days to film these scenes. One of Hepburn's biographers claims that the lead actors giggled endlessly on set and ruined take after take.
- After the alarm goes off for the second time, the head of security turns it back on. As he closes the box with the alarm switch, he receives a phone call from the minister. He walks to the phone, leaving the key in the lock of the box. When the head of security finishes his conversation with the minister and walks back to the box to turn off the alarm, the key is no longer in the lock.
