Paris When It Sizzles Overview:
Paris When It Sizzles (1964) was a Romance - Comedy Film directed by Richard Quine and produced by George Axelrod, Richard Quine, Carter De Haven Jr. and John R. Coonan.
SYNOPSIS
The romantic pairing from Sabrina (1954) reunites for a quirky comedy shot on location in Paris. Holden is trying desperately to finish a screenplay and hires Hepburn as his secretary. She is understandably irresistible and the two fall in love as they act out the possible scenarios. An all-star cast, including Dietrich and Sinatra, show up for a party. this was a painful experience for Holden, who had fallen in love with Hepburn on the Sabrina set and still carried a brightly burning torch. The hopelessness of his attraction fueled drinking binges and a wrecked Ferrari during shooting. The result seems forlorn rather than sparkling.

Quotes from
Gabrielle: [laughs] That's very funny!
Richard: No, it isn't. Just one of the hazards of being an international wit, which I am. You have to keep trying all the time.
Richard: Cut to the Eiffel Tower. The main title. The trumpets segue into the inevitable title song. Maybe we can get Sinatra to sing it.
[Frank Sinatra begins to sing]
Richard: [about the screenplay's main character] Now, I suppose we'll have to describe him.
Gabrielle: Yes, I suppose so.
Richard: He's American, of course. I can write him better that way. Now let's see, what else.
[looking in the mirror]
Richard: I see him as rather tall, rather suntanned, rather handsome athletic-looking with a rugged, but... curiously sensitive face.
