Cary Grant & Audrey Hepburn. Need I say more?
But I will because I'm an out-of-work writer and this relieves my deadly-writing-back-up. Audrey's husband who she doesn't know at all is killed and James Coburn, Ned Glass, and George Kennedy (with a hook hand) are hunting her down because they think she has a quarter mil from her husband (not much nowadays but they make it sound like a fortune). Cary comes to her rescue... or does he? It's an odd set up for a rom-com and Cary is twice Audrey's age at this point, but we'll just let that go because they are both luminous and gorgeous on the screen. Shot in Paris along the Seine in many places where we strolled, they even stay at the Hotel Jacques - we stayed at the St. Jacques. It kinda looked the same even, although I doubt it was. We guessed correctly at most all of the mcguffins as they approached.
No sword fights but there's a rooftop bout between Cary and George with his hook hand that's got decent tension and some grisly murders. DOOM recommended for the snappy dialog. There's just nothing like that old school flirty banter that Grant spoouts with Hepburn, any Hepburn (http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomFor...p?tid=5586). I wish people still talked like that, or at least, wrote dialog that way.
