Attractive but uneven comedy with star-studded cast , silly incidents , entertainment and amusement . Shot on location in París , showing marvellous monuments , noisy streets, museum, luxurious locations, and gorgeous sightseeing . William Holden and Audrey Hepburn Hepburn give sympathetic, charming acting, and Hepburn is especially frankly delightful . It displays some very diverting and funny moments , with a lot of diversions into spy stories , thrilling pursuits , Dracula , and jungle epics on the way . Some unresolved romantic tension between him and Hepburn affected shooting. The film based on an original story by writer/director Julien Duvivier was written by George Axelrod who previously wrote "Seven Years Itch" tends to be disjointed , an unadulterated fun, and too long . Several cameos and brief interpretations from Marlene Dietrich, Fred Astaire , Frank Sinatra , Mel Ferrer who married Hepburn , and Tony Curtis , all of them showing up for a party on the set .
The motion picture was was well directed by Richard Quine , though it has some flaws . Richard Quine was an expert on comedies , such as : "How to murder your wife" , "Oh Dad Poor Dad" , "Sex and single girl" , "Bell book and candle" , "Prisoner of Zenda" ,"Solid gold Cadillac" , "Strangers when we meet" , "Full of life", "My sister Eileen" , among others .Rating :6.5/10. Acceptable, decent romantic comedy. The film will appeal to William Holden and Audrey Hepburn fans.
