Audrey + Sir Alec


Does anyone know if Audrey Hepburn and Alec Guinness share any screen time in this film?

reply

Yes, but only in the films opening scene. Audrey just has a walk on role, not more than a few seconds. The film was was made before she was famous and she's basically an extra, albeit a gorgeous one.

And yes, they do have a few lines together.

Thank you for answering, and in so precise a manner.
A "gorgeous extra", i trust you on this one!

Audrey Hepburn is in the first scene, on screen for just under 15 seconds by my count.

Thank you so much!

I have a postcard, bought in Los Angeles, of Audrey and Alec together in this scene. Unfortunately, it seems to be out of print. I can't find it (Code: HE 5956) on the publisher's website: www.londonpostcard.co.uk

Although her small role as Chiquita is only brief, she's unmistakably recognizable, more so than Robert Shaw who also pops up in a debut film role towards the end.🐭
