Grant at 59 at the time was obviously having        fun in that role. Hepburn only 34 was still quite a beauty.              The plot has several weaknesses. [1] There is no explanation how        the original $250K in gold "converts" itself into the [cbfgntr        fgnzcf]. I'd be more interested in WHO still has the gold. How        can anyone truly anticipate that something like [cbfgntr fgnzcf]        would even retain value much less increase to $250K over time.        [2] The fake CIA director: security must be really slack at the        American Embassy if an imposter can just walk in and occupy an        office! [3] The kid. His voice didn't seem to fit. It sounded        like it was just dubbed in by an adult trying to sound like a        kid [4] The rooftop action fight scene. At one point Grant is        just hanging by his fingers over the edge. Then a split second        later you see the hooked-hand antagonist flipping backwards        hitting a wall. There is no explanation how Grant got his        footing back on the roof.              In all, the film looked like a charming exercise to pair Grant        and Hepburn into a pseudo thriller trying to be a romantic-        comedy at the same time [1] the shower scene, and [2] the funny        face he makes as the true Embassy official.                     --- OpenXP 5.0.49        * Origin: Join MOVIES = https://tinyurl.com/ydjv9chf (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 105/81 106/127 120/340 123/131 129/305 153/105       SEEN-BY: 153/135 757 802 7715 154/10 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 227/702 229/101 424 426 428 550 664 700 1016 1017 240/5832       SEEN-BY: 249/206 317 400 267/67 280/464 5003 282/1038 301/1 317/3       SEEN-BY: 322/757 335/364 342/200 423/81 633/280 4500/1       PATH: 221/1 6 153/757 229/664 426           |
