Love in the Afternoon
October 30 | 9:35 pm
Love in the Afternoon, Wilder’s long awaited tribute to his idol Ernst Lubitsch, is based on a French novel and tells the story of Ariane, an innocent young cello student in Paris whose father is a detective, played by Chevalier, the star of four Lubitsch musicals. In order to spark the romantic interest of Frank, an American millionaire and notorious playboy ensconced at the Ritz, Ariane assumes the guise of a sophisticated woman of affairs; but when Frank hires Ariane’s father to investigate the mysterious girl who only visits him in the afternoon, complications arise.

Audrey Hepburn: Then, Now and Forever
Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s
"Audrey Hepburn: Then, Now and Forever" is the title of the new Los Angeles County Museum of Art film series that kicks off this evening with a double bill: Roman Holiday (1953, right), the film that both made Audrey Hepburn a star — in her first leading role — and earned the actress her only Academy Award, and Peter Bogdanovich’s little-seen They All Laughed (1981), Hepburn’s last starring role in a feature film. Bogdanovich will introduce the screening.
Classy without being aloof; alluring without being vulgar; sophisticated without being snotty. That pretty much would summarize Audrey Hepburn’s screen presence. She could be hilarious, e.g., doing her best to seduce Cary Grant in Charade (1963); she [...]

Audrey Hepburn on TCM
Audrey Hepburn has her "Summer Under the Stars" day today, Tuesday, Aug. 11, on Turner Classic Movies.
All of the Hepburn vehicles have been shown before on TCM; even so, there are two premieres in the schedule: Laughter in Paradise and The Secret People, two British productions in which Hepburn has small roles. (Actually, she has a mere bit part in Laughter in Paradise.) The former is a comedy with a first-rate cast that includes Alastair Sim and Fay Compton; the latter is a thriller starring the capable Valentina Cortese and Serge Reggiani.
As for the actual Hepburn vehicles, all of them are worth checking out because, well, Audrey Hepburn is in them. Now, to be honest, I don’t think [...]
