   I just finished watching it in 3 late-night sessions over the     
   course of a week.

   It was a cute film. 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.
