To
Paris with Love (1954)
Synopsis: An amiable,
light-hearted exercise in postwar naughtiness, with Alec Guinness
and Vernon Gray as father and son outdoing each other in smoothness, each
planning amorous adventures for the other. The ensuing complications are
enlivened by Guinness's engaging performance, reunited as he is with his Kind
Hearts and Coronets director Robert Hamer, and a screenplay of sweet charm from
Warner Bros veteran Robert Buckner.
Both the leading lady, lovely Odile
Versois, and Paris itself are delightful in mid-1950s Technicolor, and this
movie, though slight, is often shamefully underrated.
Cast: Alec
Guinness, Odile Versois. Runtime: 78 min
