Love in the Afternoon (1957)

I usually don't care for films where older men fall in love with younger women but in the hands of Billy Wilder it somehow works.   It helps that the man is Gary Cooper, the kind of handsome movie star you could believe a young woman, even the delightful Audrey Hepburn, would fall for.  Certainly not a masterpiece like other Wilder films, this story of an American in Paris being courted by a younger French cellist is a fine example of a romantic comedy.  I really enjoyed the physical comedy bit with the passing a tray on wheels back and forth from one room to the next and the list of imaginary boyfriends Audrey uses to make Cooper jealous.  Hepburn's father is played wonderfully by the legendary French singer and actor Maurice Chevalier.  Grade: B+
