Holiday for Henrietta
Holiday for Henrietta () is a 1952 French comedy film directed by Julien Duvivier and starring Dany Robin, Michel Auclair, and Hildegard Knef. It was shot at the Billancourt Studios and on location around Paris including at the Gaumont-Palace cinema. The film's sets were designed by the art director Jean d'Eaubonne. Holiday for Henrietta was remade in English as the 1964 film Paris When It Sizzles, starring William Holden and Audrey Hepburn, which also featured d'Eaubonne as art director. Synopsis
While urgently trying to develop a screenplay for a new film, two screenwriters, the downbeat Crémieux and the optimist Seignier, create contradictory storylines as they argue, and as each takes turns in taking the narrative forward, they force the lead characters Henriette and Maurice into weird situations. The film switches back and forth between the writers at home and the film as it develops according to their ideas. Cast
