How to Steal a Million is a period-specific romantic comedy that adheres closely to genre conventions. Its main strength lies in its disruption of traditional gender hierarchies by emphasizing female decision-making. However, the film remains anchored in the homogeneous social structures of 1960s high-society cinema, offering a narrow perspective through a predominantly white, Eurocentric lens. Ultimately, the film’s progressive value is found in character autonomy rather than systemic inclusivity or diverse representation.
