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.
