Deux têtes folles

This hilarious and romantic movie is full of inside jokes. See if you can find the several places where Audrey Hepburn recites lines from her previous films. Also check for cameos by Mel Ferrer (Hepburn's husband at the time) and Marlene Dietrich. Besides all of the cool cameos and inside jokes, this movie is utterly funny in the way that it makes fun of itself. A must see

I wish that I could remember the very first time I ever tasted chocolate, or felt a cool breeze, or laughed at a funny joke. I can't, sadly, but if I had to wager, I'd bet that any of those three events felt very similar to my first watching of "Paris.. When It Sizzles." Watching this movie feels like falling in love; sweet and joyful and slightly decadent all at once. It's often given a bad rap, and I can't for the life of me understand why. It's a beautiful, lighthearted romantic comedy, and the chemistry between the incomparable Audrey Hepburn and William Holden is undeniable. I'll admit, "Paris.." is no "Sabrina," another (dare I say perfect) Hepburn/Holden film, but I still feel it deserves a nod as a true classic and as a highlight of the careers of both of its stars. Tony Curtis's cameo is pure comedy, delightful as they come. Make your own decision and see this one for yourself, especially if you are an Audrey fanatic like I am. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

A screenwriter and his secretary fail in love while working on a film in París, confusing themselves with the script's roles. As Willian Holden is the jaded screenwriter, the cowboy, the international thief, the trenchcoated spy. While Audrey Hepburn is the secretary, the fiery siren, the incredible batwoman, the girl who stole the Eiffel Tower. As the writer and his secretary acting out the wonderful and weird ideas they dream up for a movie script . Relax.. It's all right to laugh at this tender love story!. Go absolutely in Paris when it sizzles!. You can expect to see the most unexpected people as these two lead you to danger and adventure !.

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.

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)

If you are a wannabe writer, a writer or simply a fan of movie making or the art of writing, this film is a must see. It's not a perfect film. One wonders at times whether some of the rare serious moments in the movie, or the sugary sweet romance, were poorly written on purpose - but it doesn't matter because it all fits together wonderfully with the parody of bad movie writing, which is what this movie is about. Don't watch this film with anyone who is uncomfortable with unconventional movies, or who is an impatient nitpicker - they won't be happy. The biggest mistake in making this movie was probably the title, which is too misleading and not punchy enough for this genre. Interestingly, Orsen Wells wanted to direct this film but didn't get the job. It would have become a classic under his direction, but as it is now, it's just a silly, lighthearted (mostly), fun, risque, self-indulgent, and even didactic, film about the movie business.
