Made in Paris

1966

Fake Paris

Boris Sagal

Jazzy Rom Com

What’s it all about: Emily Blunt goes to Paris instead of Anne Hathaway

First Encounter: first viewing, inspired by Kristen Wiig skits

Prostitute Index: low 

Death By: absinthe

Relics: dinner costumes, sable, a date with the boss; heeled bedroom slippers, polished men, squares; bachelor pad, little black book, verve record player, pan am; smoking at the office, a charlie’s angels-style intercom for fashion designer and models 

Heartthrobs: Ann-Margret, Edie Adams

LoFi Magic: a pistol on the catwalk, a face slap and a stolen rolls royce, percussion-punctuated body language, Count Basie instead of dialogue for the opening dinner date scene

Makes me want to: meow on the dance floor

Candotti take: “That’s a great airplane movie. So lovely. Sweet, but not boring.”

Worth a watch/rewatch: Yes
