OK, so it's not the best movie in the world, but I think William Holden was at his best in this movie. This was the first time I remember him in a role, and was he fabulous (and sexy! I dreamed of him for weeks after my first viewing -- and I'm 27)! Loved that they were putting themselves into the romance as they were writing it, and she kept changing his scenes, putting him in a roguish light -- loved him with the green light when he was a vampire. And Tony Curtis was perfect while mocking himself and his image. Everyone in the film looked like they were enjoying making it -- don't know if that's true, because Audrey and William had had a bad breakup years earlier, but their chemistry was undeniable. (Although I didn't believe she was as young as her character was supposed to be. And, frankly, it was annoying that she played at 20something when she was clearly older than that.) An entertaining movie I would love to own.
score 9/10
