I am not so narcissistic as to think anyone actually cares what movies I watch, but I figured after the discussion about Blue Velvet 2 weeks ago (I took last week off for a West Wing binge) I would put out there that I watched this last nite.
I found it a little silly & slow at times, but I have to say it reminded me of how simple gorgeous Audrey Hepburn was. The way she speaks, looks, carries herself are just impeccable. I adore her. And the wardrobe . . .
No need to watch it ever again, but definitely better than Blue Velvet. Has anyone else seen it? Opinions?

I haven't seen this movie. I'll have to put it on the list.
DD is an actress in a performing arts HS. She is constantly compared to a young Audrey Hepburn. It's something in the way she moves and carries herself. I think that's one way the AH was so unique.

I have never seen this film, but have to agree with you that Audrey Hepburn was gorgeous. So graceful, elegant and charming.

I'm a huge Audrey Hepburn fan and I've actually seen it several times. Not my favorite but I adore her and I also really like William Holden so it's still a win-win for me. It didn't receive great reviews and I think it actually sat on a shelf for a while before the studio released it. There's sort of a whole back story to the film because while it was being shot Holden was drinking very heavily. He and AH had an affair while making Sabrina years earlier and it's been rumored that he never got over her. I think they were both forced to work together on Paris When it Sizzles by the studio... I own a few Audrey Hepburn biographies. Have you seen Charade? That's one I can just watch over and over. Same goes for Funny Face and Two for the Road.

I read a little about WH's drinking on imdb while I was watching it. Didn't realize they had an affair.
I've never seen Two for the Road. I've seen bits & pieces of Charade, Sabrina & Funny Face. Roman Holiday was OK. Didn't like Daddy Long Legs (that was her, right?). I'll have t make an effort to watch the others all the way thru.
I would definitely read her bio. I think she's fascinating.
