Paris When It Sizzles Overview:

Paris When It Sizzles (1964) was a Romance - Comedy Film directed by Richard Quine and produced by George Axelrod, Richard Quine, Carter De Haven Jr. and John R. Coonan.

SYNOPSIS

The romantic pairing from Sabrina (1954) reunites for a quirky comedy shot on location in Paris. Holden is trying desperately to finish a screenplay and hires Hepburn as his secretary. She is understandably irresistible and the two fall in love as they act out the possible scenarios. An all-star cast, including Dietrich and Sinatra, show up for a party. this was a painful experience for Holden, who had fallen in love with Hepburn on the Sabrina set and still carried a brightly burning torch. The hopelessness of his attraction fueled drinking binges and a wrecked Ferrari during shooting. The result seems forlorn rather than sparkling.

Quotes from

Richard: [showing Gabrielle the apartment] This is it. The office there, I live up here, and uh, the terrace is out there. That rather grotesque object looming so formidably on the horizon is the Eiffel Tower. I had it moved there to remind me what town I'm in. If it offends you, of course, I'll have it taken away again.


Gabrielle: What's the story about?
Richard: It's an action/suspense, uh, romantic melodrama with lots of comedy, of course. And, uh, deep down underneath, a substrata of social comment.


Maurice: I have the car right here, sir!
