I have never seen ...Thank you, Filmi-Contrast. :) <br /><br />I have never seen an age difference as a strike so honestly, I could care too hoots. I need the leads to make the romance believable on screen, though. I mean, I loved <i>Charade</i> and that had Grant (who refused this film) paired with Audrey. <br /><br />In this film, I did go through a couple of moments of 'Huh, why the heck?' but that was more because Cooper was quite wooden, and I wished there was a more charming roué than Cooper on screen.Anu Warrierhttp://anuradhawarrier.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-82376069383931280002014-01-05T12:12:44.671-05:002014-01-05T12:12:44.671-05:00I think you will like it despite the age differenc...I think you will like it despite the age difference, Madhu. And despite Maurice Chevalier and Audrey Hepburn, actually. :) If you like romantic films, you will like this. You know I don't say that lightly. Whatever you do, don't watch this film for Coop.Anu Warrierhttp://anuradhawarrier.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-45604931528219060362014-01-05T01:50:25.503-05:002014-01-05T01:50:25.503-05:00I'm more inclined to watch this than I have be...I'm more inclined to watch this than I have been . . . so your review has that going for it! The striking difference in age between the leads always seemed a strike against it. I don't know why it would be an issue for other people, necessarily, as Audrey ALWAYS looks like a child in comparison to her lead men in the 50's. If people aren't going to complain about the age difference in Funny Face (which is far more pronounced and off-putting than the pairing with Cooper in my opinion), or even Sabrina, they better darn well approve of the age difference in LITA.Filmi~Contrasthttp://filmi-contrast.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-40465839489792810202014-01-05T01:29:41.182-05:002014-01-05T01:29:41.182-05:00I remember bombaynoir reviewing Love in the Aftern...I remember bombaynoir reviewing <i>Love in the Afternoon</i> on her blog, and me thinking, "No, perhaps not." I'm not absolutely certain why - perhaps the age difference between the two main characters (not the actors) is too much? Probably not, because I've seen other films where this <i>has</i> worked, and knowing Billy Wilder, I'm sure he'd have done a good job of it. But I have to admit I'm not much of a fan of either Maurice Chevalier or (yes, hang me! :-D) Audrey Hepburn. It's not as if a dislike either of them, but I wouldn't go out of my way to watch a film for either of them. Coop, in his early days, yes (or in <i>High Noon</i>), but at 56... oh, I don't know. I don't know. <br /><br />On the other hand, romance? I'm an utter romantic. So maybe. <br /><br />Thankfully, I have a <i>huge</i> stack of movies yet to be watched, so this can be left as a to-be-decided question. ;-)dustedoffnoreply@blogger.com
