Paris When it Sizzles (1964, Richard Quine) If movies were judged only by the star-calibur of their cast, then this movie would certainly be given the thumbs up. The problem with this movie, is, the most important thing to making a film is the script. And that's where most of the problems lie in this dud. While I had no serious intention of seeing this movie in the first place, I purchased the film without knowing anything about it, other than the fact that it stars my favorite movie actress of all time (Audrey Hepburn) and another actor whose work I strongly admire (William Holden). But, unfortunately, this tenth Hepburn movie (out of 21) that I have watched was clearly the weakest of them all. Now, Audrey and William are certainly both capable actors. They were, after all, great in Billy Wilder's Sabrina. And their efforts may be the only things that keep this movie watchable. It begins good enough when Hepburn's character Gabrielle Simpson meets Holden's character Bensen to transcript a screenplay, in which he has less than two days to complete with nothing written and a total of 138 pages expected by the movie producer.
