Paris When It Sizzles

November 06, 2017 by Kirk Peterson

I caught “Paris When It Sizzles” on TV recently. Pretty sure it’s the first (and only time) I’ve ever seen a Perfume credit. Seems this was done at Ms. Hepburn's insistence. 

The picture is ... not good or as The New York Times commented at the time, it’s “a rock­hard chestnut that is hard to savor or swallow”. 

Hepburn however is flawless as always and it’s set in Paris so who’s to grumble?

Seriously though - it’s a terrible film.
