The current criticism of this palatable film is that Gary Cooper, one of the icons of Hollywood, was “too used” to play the lead against the youthful Audrey Hepburn. This is, quite frankly, ludicrous and almost silly. Though Coop was 56 when the movie was filmed, he was peaceful incredibly elegant, well-preserved, thin and as sexy as he had been in his prime. There isn’t a single moment where the viewer would doubt that this man wasn’t utterly believable in the role or womanizer and seducer extraodinaire. Audrey Hepburn would have been a fool to turn her nose up at this choice male animal, even if he was 30 years her senior.
Coop and Hepburn’s scenes together are all apt, especially the well-known film-ending roar scene, this one aloof makes one’s toes curl, even after 20+ viewings over the years. Maurice Chevalier is also charming in his role as Audrey’s father. The music, script and stellar direction by Billy Wilder build this an famous movie to discover, to contain, and to cherish.
With two of Hollywood’s most glamorous stars, and (despite the laughable residence) a enchanting and witty script, this film is an evergreen, and one I never tire of watching.

Audrey Hepburn is gripping as the spunky “Thin Girl”, a cello student who falls in worship with a millionaire playboy bachelor, played with grace and charm (and quite a bit of humor) by Gary Cooper. Hepburn was 28 at the time, and looked younger, Cooper was 56, and looked perhaps older, but despite the age disagreement, their chemistry together sparkles and sizzles.

The romantic cat and mouse game played by Hepburn to intrigue and gather Cooper’s heart is all very innocent and sweet, and I always shed a few tears at the magical ending.
Maurice Chevalier as Hepburn’s father, a private detective specializing in matters of like and deception is amazing, and gets most of the droll lines, and John McGiver, as one of Chevalier’s jealous husband clients, is also very funny.
The b & w cinematography by William Mellor is exceptional, and how the camera loves Audrey, looking comely in an array of ravishing gowns. There is also a quartet called “The Gypsies”, who serenade the lovers throughout the film with some terrific czardas, and the melodic song “Fascination”.
Light, frothy, and thoroughly savory, this is one of Billy Wilder’s most enjoyable films, and it’s a care for for Hepburn and Cooper fans.
Total running time is 130 minutes.
