Paris When it Fizzles- This Sizzler A Dud *

edwagreen

Other than having Bill Holden and Audrey Hepburn in this film, the only good thing about it is the last 10-15 minutes when reality sets in.

If I remember correctly, Holden lost Hepburn to "brother" Humphrey Bogart in the 1954 marvelous film "Sabrina." Was this supposed to be a consolation for Bill getting Audrey 10 years later?

Audrey as a typist goes to work for screenwriter Holden. The latter comes up with one of the stupidest ideas for a movie entitled "The Girl Who Stole the Eiffel Tower." The stupidity becomes even worse when Holden and Hepburn act out the inane silliness associated with this nonsense.

Cameos by Noel Coward and Tony Curtis, the latter constantly told that he is less than a supporting player here, can't even help this film. There is even a one scene walk-on by Marlene Dietrich.

score 2/10
