Audrey Hepburn and William Holden stars in this comedy set in Paris. 1964. Director: Richard Quine.
The playboy screenwriter Richard Benson (William Holden) has been payed to write a script for his boss, Alexander Myerheim (Noel Coward). Richard is sure that he can write a good script in no-time.
But two days before he has to give the unfinished script to Myerheim, Richard realizes that he hasn't done anything and he has almost no time left for the writing.
He hires the sweet secretary, Gabrielle Simpson (Audrey Hepburn) to type the script as he comes up with the idea. She comes to his hotel room where he's working, under pressure from the ticking clock.
Richard and Gabrielle comes up with the idea for a film called The girl who stole the Eiffel Tower. With almost no time left, their ideas are flowing in the room, some realistic and some completely screwed.
Will they manage to finish the intire script in just two days? How will the script turn out to be in the end?
This film isn't so especially deep and dramatic. It's a plain romantic comedy. Sometimes really fun, and sometimes just weird. Most of the film is the ideas of Gabrielle and Richard, some of these ideas are very odd.
It maybe not a masterpiece, but entertaining. Good entertainment during a rainy day in fall when everything seems grey. Then you can sit with a cup of hot chocolate and watch this film and laugh. A sweet movie.
