Love in the Afternoon

Love in the Afternoon

Audrey Hepburn and Gary cooper star in this classic romantic comedy between a young, star struck girl and a middle aged international playboy. This movie was directed by Billy Wilder, and based on the book Ariane by Claude Anet. When the filming of this production was finished, the censor board reviewed it and required the director to change the ending of the movie because it was to risqué. The original ending of the production had followed the ending in the book. One of my favorite actors, Maurice Chevalier, plays the protective father of Ariane, and is also a private detective who knows only too well about the playboy Frank Flannegan. Sit back and watch what happens when Ariane and Frank meet in the passionate city of Paris and begin an amusing romance that will change each of their lives forever. -- recommended by Patty L. - Walt Branch Library
