HELP...


I just saw the trailer to the film and I'm sorry it's just not Audrey. And I hate to be a critic when it comes to film. I'm still debating whether or not I should see the film... so if anyone can convince me to see it I will.

For those of you who have, what was right, wrong witht he film ?

THANKS.

Well, what can I say, JLH as Audrey; I know that she like adores Audrey but she was terrible. Flat, dull, and so annoying. Instead of finding Audrey's accent she whispered all of her lines as though she had had to much coffee and was now loosing her voice. Emmy Rossum however, who played Audrey during the war was the better half, she sounded like Audrey which was leaps ahead of JLH. The whole movie was weird, it never really grabbed my attention. The factual errors were major as well; the biggest of which were her last name which was Ruston, and only changed to Hepburn after the war when her father changed his name due to his Nazi contacts. Their is no mention of that in the film, she is always just Audrey Hepburn, and she introduces herself as Audrey Hepburn. The other huge flaw was that after the war when she went to London she worked as a model more then she worked as a dancer but in this film she is said to have given up modeling all together and just focused on dancing. Audrey is given several love intrests in the fil,. and each one hangs around for fifteen minutes before disapering never to be seen, heard from, or spoen of again. The piano player, the millionare, William Holden, and then finally Mel Ferrer who makes an astonishing thirty minute cameo. All in all this movie should never have been made, let alone released the way it is.
Don't go out an see it! I beg of you.
