Review of Love in the Afternoon (1972) by Eugene G — 15 Jan 2012
There's just something about classic cinema that does it for me. I dont know if its just the chinese takeout for my cinema diet right now or if it is my new favorite genre yet. First off, not Hepburn's best, but she still steals the screen.
I'm guessing it was a big thing to star 50 year old plus men opposite the petite late 20's legend because its the third movie ive seen where she hooks up with a dude that could be her father. Whatevs, love knows no age right? regardless she shines, and cooper was the playboy that you wanted to see transform into the knight in bleached armor.
In classic 50's chic it happens with a fairytale ending, just as they all should. I love everything about these movies including the subtle comic relief that doesnt have to be in the toilet to get the laugh.
Great flick, worth every second to see the ending that epitomizes the early romance cinema.
