It's no surprise that Love in the Afternoon is my favorite Gary Cooper movie: I'm a sucker for May-December romances. Plus, pitting him against someone as glamorous as Audrey Hepburn helps sand down his wooden edges.
In this romantic comedy filmed on location in Paris, Maurice Chevalier runs a detective agency for people with unfaithful spouses. His daughter is the innocent, sweet Audrey, and of course, she falls for the one man her father would completely disapprove of: an older American playboy who was caught cheating with the wife of one of her dad's clients! Audrey finds out that the wronged husband, John McGiver, is planning on killing Gary, so she rushes off to warn him in time. She becomes both a savior and a woman of mystery to Gary, since she doesn't reveal her real identity with her warning. Wanting to make herself more attractive to the experienced gentleman, Audrey pretends to be a woman of the world.
This is a very funny, very cute, and very French romance. It's a must-see for Audrey fans, and it's enough to make anyone, even me, like Gary Cooper.
