PARIS WHEN IT SIZZLES, 1964
dir: Richard Quine

Audrey Hepburn
William Holden
Noel Coward
Tony Curtis
Writer Richard Benson (William Holden) holes up in a Paris hotel with secretary Gabrielle Simpson (Audrey Hepburn) to come up with a Hollywood screenplay in two days.

Much of the film is confined to one room, but the flights of fancy concocted by the couple are filmed on location around Paris.

Benson and Simpson dine on the terrace of the Chalet de la Grande Cascade by the Second Empire artificial waterfall near the Longchamp Crossroads in the Bois de Boulogne.

Itís a very glitzy restaurant, and if you donít have a car itís quite a schlep (metro: Ranelagh) along Route de líHippodrome.

Three years later, but a whole cultural world away, the Grande Cascade featured in Luis Buñuel's Belle de Jour.
