Haven't we seen this before?

I have never seen this movie, never knew it existed until I saw it on the list here, but from the description I can say I have seen it twice before... as Ninotchka with Garbo and as Silk Stockings with Astaire. What on earth led the production team to think it needed to be made a third time, esp. with the ridiculous teaming of Hepburn with Bob Hope? Someone must have been on drugs the day this was greenlighted.

What about Jet Pilot, 1957, with John Wayne and Janet Leigh. This movie was filmed in 1950 but not released until 1957.

Yes. Ben Hecht did some uncredited work on Jet Pilot. This REALLY stinks and Hepburn's Roosian accent is as bad as it gets. There isn't a shred of chemistry between them. I'm surprised she didn't have this destroyed. Because it was owned by Romulus, it has been blessedly out of sight till now, more's the pity.
