Paris When It Sizzles

Another one of my favorite Audrey Hepburn films is the underrated "Paris When It Sizzles." The movie follows Audrey as Gabrielle Simpson, a secretary hired to help writer Richard Benson complete an entire film script in two days. To get over his writer's block, Richard begins imagining different scenarios and mentally casts Gabrielle as his leading lady. The viewer is swept between reality and fantasy until the two begin to blur together, a confusion that also descends upon Gabrielle and Richard. It is a very light-hearted caper and not to be taken seriously, but rather to be viewed as a tongue-in-cheek jab at Hollywood productions.
