QUOTES
Gabrielle: Actually, depravity can be
terribly boring if you don't smoke or drink.
Gabrielle: You're not middle aged, Mr. Benson. In fact I think you're
remarkably well preserved.
Gabrielle: Oh! Every morning when I wake up and I see there's a whole
new other day, I just go absolutely ape!
Gabrielle: Well, you just answered my question with a question. To
imply to indicate without saying openly or directly, to infer is to conclude
from something known or assumed.
TRIVIA
Filming ended only two days before production
began on Hepburn's next film Charade (1963). The small park with its Punch
and Judy puppet stage, seen during the opening credits, appears in both
films.
During one scene, Audrey Hepburn and William Holden compare Frankenstein to
My Fair Lady (1964), the latter of course being the film Audrey would soon
star in. Charade (1963), Hepburn's next produced film, also contains a
reference to My Fair Lady (1964).
Another Hepburn movie to be mentioned is "Breakfast at Tiffany's", mentioned
at the beginning of the masquerade scene.
According to her son Sean Ferrer's memoir, this was Audrey Hepburn's least
favorite of the films she made during her years as a star, this despite the
fact she called it "a joy to make". Ferrer wrote that it taught Audrey a
lesson, "just because the film was easy to make doesn't mean it's going to
be very good."
