Paris When It Sizzles (1964)
Plot:
The story concerns a veteran playboy screenwriter named Richard Benson (William Holden) who has been paid to write a screenplay for his boss, Mr. Alexander Myerheim (Noel Coward). Overly confident in his writing abilities, he puts off writing the screenplay until just two days before it is due. Gabrielle Simpson (Audrey Hepburn), a temp secretary hired by Benson to type the script, comes to Richard’s hotel room. Richard and Gabrielle come up with various off-the-wall scenarios for his screenplay, called The Girl Who Stole the Eiffel Tower, which they act out in Paris in a film within the film. This means that members of the cast (including Tony Curtis) get to play more than one role.

This blog is where I ramble on about fashion history, costume, sewing, knitting and anything else that takes my fancy.
