Holden plays Richard Benson, a Hollywood screenwriter being pressured by movie producer Alexander Meyerheimer (Noël Coward) to finish his script entitled "The Girl Who Stole the Eiffel Tower." Meyerheimer gives Richard a two-day ultimatum to complete his work, unaware that Richard has yet to even start on the script. In an effort to get moving on his project, Richard hires a live-in secretary, Gabrielle Simpson (Audrey Hepburn), to help him. Soon enough, the two fall in love and spend the time enacting various scenes from the unwritten screenplay as the time slips away and Richard's deadline looms. Paul Brenner, Rovi

Gregoire Aslan, Audrey Hepburn, Willian Holden. New. Buy with confidence-Satisfaction Guaranteed! Delivery Confirmation included for all orders in the US.
A film with two such talented actors and set in a city like Paris should have delivered much more than aimless meandering across the screen. The underlying personal tensions between William Holden and Audrey Hepburn seem to have soured or tainted their interactions in front of the camera. And it's worth remembering that Holden's alcoholism was likely in full bloom by now. I'd much rather spend the two hours reading the New York Times.

Paris When it Sizzles
A very amusing story about a screen writer and his secretary who envision a screnplay that we see as they describe it. Audrey Hepburn is delightful as always.
