The film stars William Holden and Audrey Hepburn, and features Grgoire Aslan, Raymond Bussires, Nol Coward and Tony Curtis.
The film, whose working title was Together in Paris, is a remake of the 1952 French film Holiday for Henrietta, directed by Julien Duvivier. Paramount exercised an option on their contracts with both Hepburn and Holden, forcing them to make the film together. Holden, who had had an affair with Hepburn during the making of Sabrina a decade earlier and been in love with her ever since, attempted without success to rekindle a romance with the nowmarried actress. Holdens alcoholism was also a constant challenge for Quine, who moved into a rented house next to Holdens during production to keep an eye on him. Holden later commented on both of the problemsCurtis was brought into the production to film during a week when Holden was undergoing treatment for his alcoholism at the prompting of the director. Lang replaced Renoir as the director of photography during production, a change demanded by Hepburn after she saw what she felt were unflattering dailies. ........
