Great ‘Coop’; Beguiling Hepburn
The first thing I noticed about this lilting romance (on the widescreen DVD) was the beautiful, shimmering, black and white photography. Set in Paris, with some scenes filmed there, Director Billy Wilder weaves a captivating, simple tale of a 20ish woman (Hepburn), who lives with her father (Maurice Chevalier), who schemes to snag a 50ish cad (Cooper). At first the age difference is very apparent, with Cooper seemingly mis-cast as a womanizer, but he grows on you, with a sweet, gentle, quiet, attractive performance. Hepburn is stunning and spunky in one of her best performances. The song “Fascination” is used to great effect. Filmed in 1957, the only way to show the title occurrence is to have a camera shot following Hepburn’s dis-robed fur coat falling to the hotel room’s floor, as she embraces Cooper. The ending is suspenseful, with cute narration epilogue by Chevalier. A wonderful film.
Terrible Miscasting
The plot is very cute and romantic. A private detective’s innocent young daughter lives vicariously through her father’s case files. Predominate among them is millionaire jet-setting Frank Flannagan, stealer of women’s hearts. The detective gets involved when the stolen hearts belong to married women. One day the daughter overhears a jealous husband swear blood vengeance against Flannagan. The daughter devises a plan to thwart the killing, and in the process falls heads-over-heels in love with him. At first she’s just another fling to him…but then love blossoms in his heart too.Shot on location in Paris, Maurice Chevalier plays the detective, and John McGiver the jealous husband. They are both great. Audrey Hepburn is wonderful as the daughter, but…..a Gary Cooper looking every one of his 56 years is cast as the the playboy!
This miscasting is just too much to overcome. There are only four characters in the movie which runs over 2 hours. When one is so unbelievable as Cooper the movie is irreparably damaged. It’s a crying shame.
