 This film is delightfull. I have never really had a chance to discover a true and classic romantic film that is until I saw 'Love in the afternoon' wich turned me on to a whole different world of the day when Gentlemenly values ruled the movie screen and Women were portrayed as having a certain class to them that Hepburn brought about most beautyfully. Audrey was truly a gem.
Hepburn finds out that Cooper's life is in danger when an irrate husband shows up at her father's Paris flat demanding Cooper's whereabouts. Hepburn comes to Cooper's rescue, not only from the irrate husband, but eventually she manages to save him from himself as well. It is a delightful movie and Hepburn as always is gorgeous and Cooper ruggedly handsome. It's a movie that will rest gently on both the heart and mind. It truly is a must see for any Cooper and/or Hepburn fan.

This is not classic Billy Wilder. The film is too long, and suffers from some lulls. Maurice Chevalier doesn't have enough to do. Gary Cooper looks tired, and is mismatched next to the vibrant Audrey Hepburn. The scenario is interesting, and there are some lovely moments. Overall, the film is good, but not extraordinary. For a better Wilder romantic comedy, try "A Foreign Affair."
