The story takes place in Paris. At the beginning it almost perfectly shows the sentimental and romantic Paris, laying the romantic and soft tone of the film. From the early films, the details of this film are particularly prominent. It progresses from the grasp of the emotions of the characters, although the plot is full Coincidentally, but the director pays attention to logical processing, almost no cumbersome plot, noisy dogs, lost shoes, anklets, sweaters, distracted music, trembling cello, boyfriend list recordings... all have profound implications.

Merry characters have their own attractive personality and unique charm. No one is full of evil and hypocritical. Human nature and life course may be transformed by meeting the right person at the right moment.

    The puppies are very poor, the band is very dedicated, and my father is really nice. Not as good as Huaide's other films, the funny details are not bad. In the end, the background music at the train chase was a bit too tragic.

    The ugliest Hepburn in history, hairstyle, clothing, ugliest style, still stereotypical and elegant performance, 56-year-old Gary Cooper meets 28-year-old Audrey Hepburn, no matter how you look at it, it is not suitable for young and old, except for the gypsy band. Humorous Billy Wilder, very uncomfortable to watch.
