MCT:August 6, 2008The chemistry is just NOT there at all....the story is flat and carries no dramatic gusto at all. Paris "fizzles" as far as I'm concerned here.

MCT:August 4, 2008its like the only romance i have ever watched and i only watched it cus adrey hepburn is in it and it turned out to be pretty good.
-
MCT:April 13, 2008A comedy about a Hollywood screenwriter and his assistant who are writing a movie by acting out the scenes. Some funny bits and romantic bits. One of my favorite Hepburn films.

Could have done with being shorter, but it was still very enjoyable. Hepburn brings a certain charm to mostof her roles, and as always this is no exception.
I loved the casual references to her films as well, they made me laugh.
Overall not a bad film, but there are much better ones starring Hepburn and Holden out there. -

Cute and funny, and while it enjoys and makes fun of its clichés, they're still there. Cool, though.

Ok, the storyline was really entertaining and original, but I dunno, there was some funny stuff in it that I didn't like so much.

Audrey Hepburn stars in a parody of her own line of movies. It's wonderfully meta, probably the biggest-budget in-joke at the time. Wonderfully crafted, funny in all the right places, this is a must-see for Audrey Hepburn fans!

My favorite Bill Holden movie that I've seen so far is SUNSET BLVD. which is about Holden as a screenwriter having to write a script he doesn't really want to write. And here he is again in a similar role, playing a screenwriter staying at a luxurious hotel suite in Paris with only a weekend left to write a script that he doesn't really care to write. Enter Hepburn as a typist who is hired to help him and a love story develops between them. As they write the story together, we get to see the "film within the film" come to life as we cut to hilarious images of Holden and Hepburn acting as the characters in the imaginary story they are narrating and creating. Those little film scenes within the film are pretty outrageous and off the wall and that is what makes the film so fun when it cuts to those little narratives. Also Holden's acting is equally flamboyant and playfully dramatic as he is often seen pacing and prancing around the hotel suite as Hepburn watches in lovestruck admiration. Holden also gives his hilarious take on how to write a screenplay to include things like "swithces upon switches upon switches" to trick the audience. Claude Renoir, though he is uncredited works as cinematographer along with Charles Lang Jr. and there are nicely shot scenes with vibrant colors and some good looking night shots. A very picturesque tour of Paris. Favorite scene: One of the "film within the film" scenes when Hepburn discovers Holden's character Rick is a "vampire" in a cave.

A lesser known Audrey Hepburn film, and what a shame. Holden is fun as a lecherous screenwriter suffering writer's block, that is, until Hepburn arrives to type his script. It's one of those "movie within a movie" gimmicks that is quite commonplace today, but I guess it went over the heads of audiences back in '64.
Clever writing... perhaps Noel Coward (who appears in the film) helped spruce up the wit. Based on a French film I'd love to see. -
MCT:April 3, 2007We all know I love Audrey, but this would be just as great of a movie even without her.... well, almost as great ;)

Paris When I Sizzles is one of these movies which gives you great moments while watching it, its so interesting and its so funny, the way they sit and plan the story is absolutely hilarious, its one which you wont stop laughing, Vampire Chasing was so funny, i had to re-watch it 3times.. some how *Audrey* managed to get my attention more on this film, she puts this funny face up which absolutely makes you laugh.. lol.. its absolutely funny, its funny how it all goes and the story and suddenly they start kissing and they fall in love like so fast.. hahaha.. its just one which you should now miss in the 60s movies..
very good indeed..
i will definetly watch this again..
oh and the ending was absolutely fabulous.. lol..
oh and the stories they were creating are absolutely funny.. lol..
i just watched Audreys face mostly in this movie as it was so funny and cute.. -

Funny! Às vezes eu tenho ataque de riso por uma piada qualquer, e nesse filme tive uma das mais fortes! Foi naquela cena que o personagem do Tony Curtis confunde o próprio nome de tanto que fazem isso com o coitado durante o filme todo... passei 10 horas rindo e com dor na barriga, isso é normal?

At first when I started watching this movie I thought it was soooo stupid, but after awhile I was really into it. I loooove it!
-
MCT:March 3, 2007This is probably the worst Audrey Hepburn movie I've ever seen. It's good enough so that you'll sit through the entire movie, but that's not really saying much.

Good comedy-romance tale of a screenwriter and his secretary who act out story scenarios in an attempt to knock out a script in 48 hours.

I;m really really sorry that a genius in acting such as Audrey Hepburn was involved in such a lets say average movie. I don't know what got into the mind of the movie makers, i mean come on you have the greatest actress ever in the most beautiful sity in the world and all you come up with is THIS!!!!!! The movie chronicles a writing process where a screenwriter is gathering all his imagination to come up with a script in just three days. And we pass through the levels of progress in his writing. But even the movie he came up with wasn't that impressing. So we have a double charged bad story movie that might present some laughs every now and then but still not up to the name of the actors. And i can't understand why they set the movie in Paris if they won't show anything from it. They could have set it in LA, Italy or England and the story wouldn't have changed coz we don't get the french sense. It's just a background to attract the viewers as it did with me. But thanks god we had Audrey Hepburn and William Holden to save the day. They were both brilliant. Of course everybody who is familiar with Hepburn's works will know that this is not her best work but still she was great and charming and as lovely as ever.

It was very good, it reminded me of an older version of Alex and Emma in a way, but also completly different. Definitaly worth watching. It's got it's comedy moments, and the sappy love moments, maybe a bit cheesy at times, but it's great. Check it out.
