Should have been great - two of the greatest actors of all time in Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant, a superb supporting cast (Walter Matthau, James Coburn, George Kennedy), an intriguing and original opening plot and some fairly witty and snappy dialogue between Hepburn and Grant.
But it ends up mediocre, mostly due to the excessive amount of twists. The twists became routine and boring, and seemed to be the only way the writer and director could keep the plot going.
In addition, the Hepburn-Grant relationship comes across as contrived and trite.
Fairly disappointing.
