Paris When It Sizzles

“Go absolutely Ape in...”

Richard Benson (William Holden) is a screenwriter who has spent months in Paris on a script he hasn't started, and he has two days left before the producer expects it. He hires a temporary secretary, Gabrielle Simpson (Audrey Hepburn), to help him finish on time. Richard Quine keeps the pair in one apartment while Benson, still drinking and still dodging the page, starts talking out the story with her.
