Description

She plays the cello. He plays the field. She's coltishly young. He's worldly and mature. Lovestruck conservatory student Ariane knows she's not like millionaire American playboy Frank Flanagan. But if she pretends to be just as much a cosmopolitan lover as he is, maybe the magic of l'amour will take hold. May-December romance is in bloom when Billy Wilder directs and Audrey Hepburn and Gary Cooper meet for Love in the Afternoon. Laughs, Parisian settings, champagne elegance -- Wilder, in his first collaboration with long-time cowriter I.A.L. Diamond, delivers them all in a souffle-light homage to his filmmaking idol Ernst Lubitsch, punctuating it by casting Lubitsch alumnus Maurice Chevalier, the cinema's ambassador of Gallic charm who smoothly plays Ariane's detective father.

    • Great film
Very good transfer from reasonably good source material. The close-ups and two-shots make the blu ray improvements in crispness show up well. Opticals and longer distance shots look a little soft. You'll get over it. This looks better than the DVD version in the 2-disc/4-movie romance classics set. No commentary track, no documentary or appreciation, just the trailer, subtitles and SDH option. Very entertaining movie. Great charm, if a little languid at 130 minutes. Maurice Chevalier almost steals the show, with a lovely and un-hammy performance. Yes, the age difference between Audrey and Gary is startling - not unlike her appearances with Bogart ("Sabrina") and Astaire ("Funny Face"). Audrey was 27 (fully believable as a 19-year old), Gary was 55 at the start of filming. You can either obsess about it or overlook it - I chose to overlook it after 5 minutes, given the wonderful performances of both. Two factoids (courtesy of "Some Like It Wilder" - Gene D. Phillips). (1) Wilder's first choice for Frank Flannagan was Cary Grant, who refused the part due to the age difference with Audrey. (He was three years younger than Cooper). (2) Wilder hoped that the use of careful make-up and lighting would obscure Cooper's apparent age, but the close-ups unfortunately make him look even older. Tragically, this was related in part to Cooper's diagnosis of incurable cancer, known to only a few of his intimates, to which he would succumb in 1961. Wilder claimed that this was his Lubitsch tribute, and this is definitely the case. There are many wonderful touches - often subtle, even devious, and easily missed. (These require multiple viewings to get.) Cooper rewarding "the Gypsies" (themselves a Lubitsch touch) with the drinks trolley is a tiny classic, just one of many. The use of "Fascination" (a classic chestnut from 1905) adds to the charm. My only quibble with the "Lubitsch-isms" is at the very beginning of the film, in its Paris montage. The street maintenance truck watering the sidewalks and street, AND drenching the embracing couple as well, would have stopped - left them dry - and resumed, if Lubitsch were directing - one difference between Lubitsch's more romantic touch and Wilder's spiky sense of humor.

    • Mesmerizing! It is one of my favorite romantic comedies!
I really love "Love in the Afternoon"! I had a big kick out of it and I don't understand why some people dislike it. To me, the film is a masterpiece. It succeeds in so many levels like no other romantic comedy. The story is wonderfully acted and told. Intelligent script explores human soul layer after layer- all the silly things we do when we are in love and all the illogical explanations which we make to justify our madness, it is all there. The underlying dramatic theme,that love often breaks our hearts is seasoned with the right dose of humor to provide a pleasant comic relief. The movie is beautifully shot and the music score is to die for. The two leads, Gary Cooper and Audrey Hepburn have tremendous on-screen chemistry and make a fantastic,fun to watch on-screen couple. The supporting cast and "The Gypsies" are pretty amazing too. Gary Cooper is Frank Flannagan, a handsome American, very wealthy, mature and confirmed bachelor. He likes women, champagne, everything luxurious and lives live to the full. He never gets serious about a relationship. His philosophy is "Don't get attached. People should always behave as though they were between planes". A fateful meeting with beautiful, young French Ariane changes his attitude. She saves his life and they spend together his last afternoon in Paris. He leaves for America and forgets her. She doesn't forget him, she is deeply in love. A year later they meet again and this time he falls for her, but she plays mysterious and elusive, and drives him crazy. Eventually they come together by the end of the film -a beautiful, romantic and memorable end! I really enjoyed the movie and laughed out loud at the many funny scenes. There is one particular scene, where Flannagan, totally obsessed with Ariane and jealous of "her past" falls into pieces. He drinks the whole night and listens to Ariane's voice message in which she tells him of her "itemized list of lovers". The Gypsies play his favorite music. There are trolleys loaded with alcohol literally "flying" forward &backward between Flannagan and the band, while his playing Ariane's message zillion times forward and backward, and the music starts and stops in the same manner. Hilarious! Gary Cooper's ability to maintain delicate balance between the dramatic and the funny side of the situation is unsurpassable! His age did not bother me the slightest. On the contrary, I thought, at 56 he is still a great actor and strikingly handsome man. His body is lean and well toned , he is wonderful to look at and worthy of love. And as a matter of fact the age difference between Flannagan and Ariane is a crucial point in the story. Gorgeous, classy and talented Audrey Hepburn is delightful to watch. I will never forget her in the final scene. She makes it so moving! Gary Cooper is amazing too. Actually, amazing is understatement. Flannagan is forced to make the toughest decision in his life and he must make it fast, now or never! Cooper has no lines, only a few words for the last five minutes screen time, but his tormented facial expression says it all. I felt his desperation and pain as though, I was on that departing train deciding "to be or not to be". The final could have easily become too syrupy but it isn't. There is no sugar-coated dialog and no excessive weeping, and it works magnificently. The message I got from the film is that true love has no age and conquers all. If you are among the few lucky ones who have found their match, surrender completely and enjoy your "life sentence"! I could keep on writing and marvel about the film but my review is long enough as it is. I hope, I gave you some idea what to expect and I am leaving you now to make your mind up. If you decide to go ahead and see "Love in the Afternoon" the chances are you will enjoy two very nice and memorable hours. Seriously, they don't make'em like that anymore! ... show more

    • Movie that features Maurice Chevalier
Who doesn't love this very smiling and clever actor? Nobody. The movie is not action packed and is probably fairly rated between 4-5 stars, but the cast is very good and has two of my favorite actors adding Audrey Hepburn..

    • I guess rom-coms are not for me
Over the past few weeks, I've reviewed a number of highly rated rom-coms and I haven't liked any of them. This one joins the list. My overwhelming reaction to this (and most, if not all, of the others) is how silly the narrative is. In this case, I also found it rather sordid. In real life, there was a 28 year age difference between the two romantic leads. In the film though, this gap seems rather wider. Cooper looks like he's in his 60s and Hepburn (whose looks could span a wide age range) comes across in her role as being late-teens. His plying her with champagne and refusing to let her leave his hotel room at the outset of their relationship seems more like sexual harrassment than romance. With Wilder at the helm, it is, as one would expect, well shot and with some sparkling dialogue. This would not have been sufficient to get me to 3*. What succeeds in doing that is a standout performance from Maurice Chevalier. I might finish by saying the DVD was unsatisfactory. Every two minutes or so, the screen would turn black for a few seconds. I shall send it back for return-and-replace. I have little interest in seeing the film again, but I am such a fan of Wilder, that I can see me wanting to revisit it if/when I undertake another Wilder marathon. ... show more
