My all-time favorite is How to Steal a Million with Peter O'Toole and Audrey
Hepburn.  Set in Paris during the mid-1960s, the plot revolves around
forgery, theft, and romance.  And, amidst all this, O'Toole is dashing,
driving around in a Jaguar XKE, and Hepburn is fabulous in her Givenchy.
Another good film is The Moderns with a great cast:  Keith Carradine, Linda
Fiorentino, John Lone, Wallace Shaw, Genevieve Bujold, and Geraldine
Chaplin.  This film is about the art scene in 1920s Paris and New York City.

I am interested in your curriculum!  Would you be willing to share/discuss
your syllabus?
