Review of Love in the Afternoon (1972) by Steve W — 27 Jan 2011
It's not classic Billy Wilder, but a nice spin on the romance film. Gary Cooper plays a womanizer who is as wild as the newspapers say he is, and Audrey Hepburn plays an innocent and sweet woman who falls in love with him.
It does mix a few things up, first off its the girl who is infatuated with the guy. In order to keep him interested, she plays it aloof and frauds her way to his heart by pretending to have many male suitors.
The only complaint is the running time, lots of scenes seem pulled apart and stretched for as long as possible. They easily could have made a few extra cuts to shorten the film, and it seems to drag.
The ending is perfect and the characters developed nicely. I enjoyed it.
