6/10
Clever but uneven
14 October 2001
This was a visually lush, generally amusing and occasionally clever (especially when dealing with movie conventions) satirical comedy, but sometimes it feels static (most of the action is confined to one room) and it often becomes a little too self-conscious for its own good (were the references to "My Fair Lady" really necessary?). William Holden is perhaps a little too gruff for this kind of film, but Audrey Hepburn is at her sexiest and most animated in this movie, particularly when she lets her hair down. (**1/2)
