“I was just admiring your wife’s Klimt.”

See “Woman in Gold” with Helen Mirren on Amazon Prime. Also a very similar true story, about a famous Gustav Klimt painting and its theft by the Nazis from the original Jewish collector’s family.

I think that was never covered, for better or wurst.

But the original prop painting did apparently sell for 15K pounds in ‘18.

That’s Pablo Picasso, not Gustav Klimt, lol. Bruce Willis is Bruce Willis, though, and does look a tad like the Picasso pic.
