This is supposed to be a Hitchcockian-style thriller mixed with comedy and romance. But it never really succeeds in any category.
Audrey Hepburn plays Reggie, an American living in Paris married to a Swiss husband she now wants to divorce because she doesn't love him and he has been too dishonest. But when she admits this to a female friend of hers, the husband has already been murdered, and he had already sold all their furniture and had tickets to leave for Venezuela. On top of that, three men are threatening her, demanding a fortune in $250,000 that she supposedly has-but she doesn't. She is contacted by a man in the American Embassy who tells her the story about how, during World War Two, some OSS agents were supposed to have delivered that money to the French Resistance but instead stole it. On top of that, another man meets her, knowing what is going on, and Reggie is unsure if he is a friend-or foe.
Reggie has a sort of romance with this man, despite his own dishonesty over who he is and what his name is. There are also ridiculous scenes such as his taking a shower with his clothes on, and so much running back and forth that it gets tedious. The characters are undeveloped, the romance doesn't work, and there are too few laughs for a comedy. Nice try, but it just didn't work.
