This is definitely a fun watch. There are a lot of twists and turns that hold you to your seat and make you wonder what exactly is going on – and who is really who. It is basically a comedy mystery-thriller with a good mix of stars; suspenseful, with some comic dialogue and interludes. There is a reasonably good resolution at the end.
That being said, it just goes on – for me anyway – a little too long. The meandering relationship between Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn does become strained and repetitive. Some scenes could have been shortened or simply edited out – like that overly long boat ride on the Seine that was suppose to be romantic, but dissolved to schmaltzy. The pace of this movie was too uneven for me to give it a stronger rating.
