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
Gabrielle: Mr. Benson?
Richard: You are, I assume, the young lady from the typing bureau?
Gabrielle: I am.
Richard: In that case, if we are to have a happy and harmonious relationship, I beg of you, never answer a question with a question. Is that clear?
Gabrielle: Did I?
Richard: There you go again, answering a question with a question. My original yes when you opened the door was a question, question mark implied of course. You do know the difference between implied and inferred?
Gabrielle: Isn't that a question?
Richard: [pauses] Yes.
Gabrielle: Well, you just answered my question with a question. To imply to indicate without saying openly or directly, to infer is to conclude from something known or assumed.
Richard: You call the canary Richelieu because you always wanted a cardinal.
Gabrielle: [laughs] That's very funny!
Richard: No, it isn't. Just one of the hazards of being an international wit, which I am. You have to keep trying all the time.
Richard: Cut to the Eiffel Tower. The main title. The trumpets segue into the inevitable title song. Maybe we can get Sinatra to sing it.
[Frank Sinatra begins to sing]

Facts about
French actor Raymond Bussières is post-synchronized in English by another actor but he post-synchronized himself in the French version.
According to Audrey Hepburn's son Sean H. Ferrer's memoir, this was her least favorite of the films she made during her years as a star, despite the fact that she called it "a joy to make". Ferrer wrote that it taught her a lesson: "Just because the film was easy to make doesn't mean it's going to be very good."
