Paris When It Sizzles
Go absolutely Ape in...
A frothy, witty screwball romance set in Paris where a dissolute screenwriter and his secretary fall in love while racing against a deadline, punctuated by absurdist humor, parodies, and elaborate set pieces.
Hollywood producer Alexander Meyerheimer has hired drunken writer Richard Benson to write his latest movie. Benson has been in Paris supposedly working on the script for months, but instead has spent the time living it up. Benson now has just two days to the deadline and thus hires a temporary secretary, Gabrielle Simpson, to help him finish on time.
