Victor,
I was really counting on you for a loooong list of ladies of forign film...after all you are the resident maven of European film here...and I mean that in a good way.
Help a backwoods boy from Ohio out!
BTW, re: A. Hepburn...great face, very classy, acting talent to burn... but waaay to skinny for my taste!
I enjoy a little "body language" (and I don't necessarily mean "voluptuous") to go with the "face and eyes acting." I really never watched many of her films...Brakfast at Tiff. comes to mind, along with Wait Until Dark and the original Sabrina (I've read that she and Bogie HATED each other). Are there other really great AH films I've neglected.
All the best,
Gary

I think you�d love "Two for the Road" - orejones 03:09:40 04/06/04 (4)
Directed by Stanley Donen in 1967, with Albert Finch and Jacqueline Bisset, music by Mancini...: Hepburn is wonderful in it
I have seen it more than ten times..., one of them with a friend, a daltonic mathematician: listening to his colourful description of what we had just seen was something surrealistic!

    I never liked that film. Audrey was nice, as she always is, but the film was boring, I thought.
    Nothing like How To Seal a Million, which I thought sizzeled with humor and fun.

      I, again have to say yes....To your post.

Roman Holiday and How to Steal a Million are both must see Audrey films, plus the Charade.
But if you open your search world wide, then there are just too many to list this late in the night.
Let me start with a relatively little known one - Capucine. If that one doesn't get your blood pumping I don't know what will. Tons of class too.

    ...interesting link; I didn't know Cap committed suicide. Very attractive lady, but I don't really know her work...could she "act?" (Of her filmography, I only remember her from the so-so John Wayne flick North to Alaska).
    I forgot about Roman Holiday, perhaps the only A. Hepburn film I would watch more than once. Sabrina is the only Bogart film made after 1940 that I don't care if I see again. (Just my opinion...obviously not much of a fan of Ms. Hepburn).
    Any current actresses in European films you can recommend? You know, like the "Drew Barrymore of France, Sweden, etc"...except attractive and with acting chops?
    Thanks,
    Gary
    - Her demise was probably brought on by her appearance in "Satyricon". - albee33 21:31:21 04/05/04 (0)

      ...Charade is a very nice film as well, and I own a copy of it...but imo, this a Cary Grant film...many actresses could have done AH's role (imo).
      I really like the Geo. Kennedy/James Coburn roles here...especially at the funeral service, where George sticks a pin in the courpse, and Coburn holds a mirror under the dead guys nose, making sure he is dead...right in front of the widow and other mourners. Somehow, to me at least, this was funny (black humor?).
      All the best,
      Gary
