Paris When It Sizzles

Hollywood producer Alexander Meyerheimer has hired drunken writer Richard Benson to write his latest movie. Benson has been in Paris supposedly working on the script for months, but instead has spent the time living it up. Benson now has just two days to the deadline and thus hires a temporary secretary, Gabrielle Simpson, to help him finish on time.
Like Lourdes or Guadalupe: I always feel blessed when I witness a vision of Audrey Hepburn.
The rather creative framing device of two characters dictating a movie that then plays out on the screen certainly has its charm, though not enough to completely erase the generic romantic arc.
