    • Holden and Hepburn in an Affair to Remember!
Once in a while I find myself disagreeing with everybody’s negative review of a movie. Such is this case. I don’t think this movie “fizzled.” It blazed! I admire that William Holden and Audrey Hepburn took a chance in starring in an experimental film, so unusual in their careers, that poked fun of their own profession. This movie is a flat-out satire that at times borders on farce. Anyone looking for broad strokes drawn against the movie industry will enjoy the insider jokes and expressions. Holden is a jaded screenwriter who has two days to come up with a script for his boss. Hepburn is the typist hired to help him put it on paper. Both actors are in top form, Holden handsome and athletic, Hepburn lovely and delicate. Set in perhaps the loveliest city in the world, this caper takes our two heroes across the Champs Elysees, Montmartre, Bois de Boulogne, Palais de Chaillot, and the Eiffel Tower. The film lampoons the way movie scripts are written. In the movie’s best scene Holden sardonically explains the steps needed for a romantic thriller. Across his chic apartment, he lays out on the floor pages of his future script and then “reads” out the story: “boy meets girl,” “girl faces love triangle,” “boy recovers beloved cat,” and “boy kisses girl in the rain.” He glumly denounces this hackwork (it’s a blatant imitation of Breakfast at Tiffany). Nothing fresh comes to mind. That is, until Hepburn walks into his life. With her beauty and quirky personality, she becomes his muse. The attraction is mutual, and inspiration blossoms. Feeding off each other’s energy, the two create scenes for a new script and then “act” them out against a Paris celebrating Bastille Day. The comedy within the comedy is tongue-in-cheek. Some of it doesn’t work, such as the fatuous Dracula and bi-plane scenes, but most do because Holden and Hepburn are soooo good at elevating the material. Holden’s diction, as usual, is exquisite, with every word of every remark enunciated perfectly. This is a talky movie, and some of it refers to previous Holden/Hepburn films. For example, Sabrina and My Fair Lady are spoofed in the sidewalk café sequence. Beyond that, the movie laments the plight of writers forced to produce “a masterpiece” by a deadline. There’s plenty of chemistry between the two stars, hinting of the passionate affair they had while filming Sabrina ten years earlier. Late in life, Holden confessed that Hepburn was the love of his life. The evidence is in their love scenes here. There is a yearning in Holden’s eyes as he gazes at Hepburn. Look for those moments before the “Dissolve” and “Fade out.” Ah, vive l’amour. ... show more

    • I think they made this movie just so people could see more of Audrey Hepburn
Audrey Hepburn is gorgeous in Paris When It Sizzles. The camera seems to have a magnet that just keeps being drawn to her face. In fact, in one section there is a super-fine closeup of her face as William Holden's character describes her eyes, her smile, etc. I think that may have been the real reason for this movie. Other than Audrey Hepburn's beauty and charm, this may have been the silliest movie I've ever seen in my life! Not particularly funny, although I did laugh at times, but slapstick kind of silly. Not usually my cup of tea. However, anything with Audrey Hepburn in it can't be bad. There were a couple of side-comments about other Hepburn movies. They mentioned 'My Fair Lady' and 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' and probably others, all done very mischievously--as if the viewer were 'in' on the joke. The Givenchy clothes Audrey Hepburn wore were stunning! I kept wondering how we lost all of the elegance that (some) people had in the movies back when this was made. This was a beautiful movie (Audrey Hepburn, locations, clothing), but a little too silly even for a lifelong Audrey Hepburn fan. I'm glad I watched it though. Somehow I had missed this one. ... show more

    • enjoyed very much
A very successful screen writer, played by William Holden, enjoyed very much, the life style afforded him through success. He enjoyed it so much he became lazy, playing and partying most of the time. He was under contract to write a movie at a certain dead line, which was fast approaching. A typist from the typing pool played by Audrey Hepburn, arrived at his door ready to go to work. But alas, no script pages, nor chapters had materialized. Hepburn, being a very beautiful young girl, attracts our behind in schedule writer, Holden. He begins to put together several plots, of course, describing the characters as he and she. The two of them get caught up in portraying these characters for the movie. Along the way love blossoms, of course our writer who has had two failed marriages, convinces our typist, he loves his lifestyle and will not marry again. A script of some what has been produced, so our typist moves back to her apartment. Being a holiday Audrey is celebrating with her date. Our writer realizing she is gone, goes out and seeks her out among the partying community. This is a very entertaining movie. Loved it. ... show more

    • Childhood favorite
Major weakness on my part, I collect things, particularly things that have some significance to me. This one, I saw originally as a kid, nursing a cold, feeling crap at home. At the time I loved the Walter Mittiness of it all, it's basically an aging, sodden writer, William Holden, who has cashed a check his writing can't cover. So, he has a couple of days to write a 130 page screenplay (on a typewriter of all things). Audrey Hepburn is there as a dictationist, typist, etc. So, you have the front story of the two of them trying to get a handle on their relationship and the constantly being rewritten screenplay that serves as an ongoing fantasy thing. Tony Curtis has what can best be described as an minor role "If you were in a script, you would be listed as the third policeman" and hams it up appropriately. At the time I loved it Now, just seeing it again, I cringed a bit in spots at some of the plot points but still enjoyed the chemistry of the actors. As per usual, you have to sort of put on rose colored glasses and make allowances for a more innocent time. If you can do that, I think this an enjoyable experience. If you're the jaded sort, suggest you look elsewhere. ... show more
