This is a film with a scene that happens today - July 6. I hope you enjoy the movie and watch it tonight.
THE AUDREY HEPBURN STORY
The film is a series of
flashbacks by Audrey Hepburn while she is filming Breakfast at
Tiffanys. In 1935 Belgium, six year
old Audrey has to deal with the break-up of her parent’s marriage. She goes to
dance school in England, but goes to Holland when the war breaks out as her
mother thinks it will be safer. This is a mistake, as the Nazis invade and
occupy the country. Audrey acts as a courier for the Dutch Resistance and is
very ill as the war ends. After the war her dream of becoming a prima ballerina
comes to naught, but she gets a bit part a Jerome Robbins musical review and has an affair with the
show’s piano player. Audrey gets a one-line movie role and meets James Hanson,
who becomes her fiancée. While filming the movie Monte Carlo Baby,
Colette selects her to play Gigi on Broadway. She films Roman Holiday
with Gregory Peck, but has problems in doing Gigi, as she’s not a professional
actress. She breaks up with James. Audrey works with Givenchy to develop her signature
style for the movie Sabrina. She
develops an attraction for her co-star, William Holden. On July 6, 1954
[1:34:13 to 1:36:14] she films a scene in Sabrina with Humphrey Bogart.
Later Holden offers to divorce his wife and marry her, but she refuses when she
learns he cannot have any more children. Audrey meets Mel Ferrer who persuades
her to star in Ondine with him on Broadway. She wins an Oscar and marries Mel. She films The Nun’s
Story while pregnant. In the
hospital for exhaustion, an argument with her mother after discovering her
mother had concealed letters to Audrey from her father causes a miscarriage.
She goes to see her father and has a child. Mel persuades her to do a film
called Breakfast at Tiffanys.
A good biopic. I like it because
it mainly sticks to the real facts about Hepburn’s life. Hewitt is very good as
Audrey. However the film only tells the story of the first half of her life.
