Paris When It Sizzles is an unusual screwball comedy to say the least. Whether it works is another matter, but the premise and humor are interesting enough to make it enjoyable. The basic problem with the film is its two stars: William Holden and Audrey Hepburn hardly sizzle with onscreen chemistry, and Hepburn's character, Miss Simpson, falls far too easily into the hands of Holden's drunken screen writer. However, the story is an interesting play on the typical Hollywood romance, with two plotlines running in parallel to each other. Holden's Richard Benson has only two days to finish a script for an enigmatic producer (Noel Coward). Hepburn's Miss Simpson is drafted in as the typist and as the script is dictated it manifests itself on the screen, allowing the two lead characters to play out any number of romantic stories. It's the cameo appearances in the imaginary world that really steal the show, with the blink-and-you'll-miss-it last screen appearance by Marlene Dietrich, as well as Tony Curtis having fun with his own screen persona. Not one of Hepburn or Holden's best, but worth a look purely for the interesting slant on the mechanical nature of Hollywood's romances. --Nikki Disney

I love this movie because it is so different yet totally captivating and funny. The Paris backdrop is genius and the costumes and hair are fantastic, but what makes the film most interesting is just how random and fun it is. It's not a movie where you observe the acting or study the plot, because there hardly is one here, but it's a nice break from the more "civilized" comedies of the era. Overall, I would highly recommend it to any Audrey fan or anyone who just wants to watch a goofy old movie starring ... Read More

I didn't really finish the whole thing...that was a late night. And this is my first Audrey movie, which is made seriously 50 years ago. But she is definitely just beautiful, and lots of her style never fades even according to today's views. Classical views of Paris and classical yet funny way of making a movie in a movie. It was good.

As a whole I found `Paris When it Sizzles' to be far more entertaining than the reviews would have you believe. It was fun and exciting and even breathtaking in scenes, and it never lost your interest for something was constantly going on, but when all was said and done I felt as if the film was truly a missed opportunity. Instead of giving us that `switch' in the end the film merely falls into the clichéd Hollywood ending that the two main characters were fighting so fervently against throughout the ... Read More

I had never heard of this film until I recently saw it as the in-flight movie on a jet. Now I own it. It's a very nice romantic comedy, with a surreal edge to it. Also there are some cameos by big stars to look out for. Audrey Hepburn absolutely never looked as beautiful as she does here in Paris When It Sizzles. It may not have the depth of some of her other movies, but this one is a lot of fun.

This is another one of Audrey's stinkers. It starts off dumb and then gets silly. Apparently, it was supposed to be a sophisicated comedy with a lot of surprising cameos and witty dialog. It fails over and over.
Both Audrey and William Holden would and could do much better things.
It just gets progressively worse.
