My impression of this movie was very cute. I love Audrey Hepburn's character development and I disagree with the multiple critics that say that Bogart was miscast. I think that he was almost perfect! He had the seriousness that was needed for a workaholic tycoon and I note that he still was serious, because he couldn't understand love. Not really, at least. So, he was confused and angry when he felt something for Hepburn's character.

Not to say that Holden did a bad job either, he just got little screen time. The photography in this film is gorgeous and always just the right light on females, which is something you can expect from movies before the 1980s. If anything, I'd say the direction was a little flat and it was a bit predictable, but I still got excited in that last scene when Bogart and Hepburn embrace. It was nice how no words were spoken.

This was definitely a great film, and recommend it for any old romantics out there!
