Paris When It Sizzles (1964)
After their very public affair ten years earlier during the filming of Sabrina, William Holden and Audrey Hepburn broke up. She married someone else and he nursed his broken heart by going back to his wife. Then, in 1964, they made another movie together, and a romance at that! I don’t know how William Holden got through making this movie, unless he was insanely drunk the entire time, which, given what we know about his personal life, was a realistic possibility.
Paris When It Sizzles is not unique in reuniting exes on the screen; that’s an old Hollywood custom and has continued to the modern era. However, if you want to see awkward personified, then rent this movie. It just makes you uncomfortable to watch it, even though as a light romantic comedy, that’s not the goal. The plot centers around a middle-aged playboy playwright who has trouble meeting his writing deadline and then falls in love with his new secretary. So, if you liked the modern flick Alex and Emma, you’ll probably get a kick out of what was perhaps the original inspiration.
