Richard Quine directs George Axelrods acerbic script (adapted from Julien Duviviers La Fête à Henriette) in this omantic comedy that reunites William Holden and Audrey Hepburn for the first time since 1954s Sabrina. Holden plays Richard Benson, a Hollywood screenwriter being pressured by movie producer Alexander Meyerheimer (Noël Coward) to finish his script entitled The Girl Who Stole the Eiffel Tower. Meyerheimer gives Richard a two-day ultimatum to complete his work, unaware that Richard has yet to even start on the script. In an effort to get moving on his project, Richard hires a live-in secretary, Gabrielle Simpson (Audrey Hepburn), to help him. Soon enough, the two fall in love and spend the time enacting various scenes from the unwritten screenplay as the time slips away and Richards deadline looms. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide
