Movie's #67-71- The Audrey Hepburn collection

The collection includes Breakfast at Tiffany's, Paris when it sizzles, Funny Face, Roman Holiday and Sabrina. Breakfast at Tiffany's is about Holly Golightly (Hepburn)the naïve, eccentric café society girl who becomes interested in the man who moves into her apartment building Paul Varjak (George Peppard). A classic film that is cherished by millions including me, its fantastic. Paris when it sizzles is about a veteran playboy screenwriter named Richard Benson (William Holden) who has been paid to write a screenplay for his boss. Overly confident in his writing abilities, he puts off writing the screenplay until just two days before it is due. Gabrielle Simpson (Audrey Hepburn), a temp secretary hired by Benson to type the script, comes to Richard's hotel room where they are to spend the weekend. Richard and Gabrielle come up with various off-the-wall scenarios for his screenplay. As the script unfolds, so does the romance between the two writers. Some great scenes in this film with great chemistry between Hepburn and Holden. Funny Face is my least favourite in this collection because of the flat chemistry between Hepburn and Fred Astaire. Fashion photographer Dick Avery (Astaire), in search for an intellectual backdrop for an air-headed model, finds a Greenwich Village bookstore. Avery stays behind to help clean up and later examines the photos taken there and sees Jo (Hepburn) in the background of one shot. He is intrigued by her unique appearance. He offers Jo a modeling contract, which she reluctantly accepts only because it includes a trip to Paris. Eventually she starts to like Avery and develops feelings for him as he does for her. Roman Holiday is one of my favourite Audrey Hepburn films it follows Gregory Peck as a reporter and Audrey Hepburn as a royal princess out to see Rome on her own without people doing things for her. For a while I actually was hoping that Hepburn and Peck were a couple in real life but sadly this was not the case.

Sabrina is also another favourite. Sabrina Fairchild (Hepburn) is the young daughter of the Larrabee family's chauffeur, and is in love with David (William Holden) the younger of the Larrabee brothers but he doesn't return her affections, in fact he hardly ever notices her. Sabrina then goes to culinary school in Paris and then returns as an attractive and sophisticated woman, which now makes David notice her, David's brother Linus (Humphrey Bogart) sees this and fears that David's imminent wedding with a very wealthy woman, Elizabeth Tyson, may be endangered. If the wedding were to be canceled, so would a great corporate deal with the bride's family. So Linus tries to redirect Sabrina's affections, and in the process falls in love with her. It's sooo great and romantic and stunning.
