I read somewhere that it was actually scheduled for demolition back in 1966 and that's probably the reason they chose to film the movie there - certainly cheaper than renting a house.

Very sad that the mansion (Hôtel) used in the film as Nicole Bonnet's parisian home was demolished and replaced by a "modern" block of appartments!

Michael Caine had his art caper planned perfectly and then, when it came time for its execution, everything backfired.

Being an Audrey Hepburn movie, I gave it another shot and now I just plain adore it. I took screenshots of it months ago for a post in the future and I couldn't stop myself from taking over 70 photos. And I must say, a good deal of those were just Peter O'Toole -- those baby blue eyes, oh my goodness. He has one of my favorite film introductions ever. Great pick, and great post!Michaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06595610476583704014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799060793812204452.post-19967879330960822292016-01-10T11:53:22.526-05:002016-01-10T11:53:22.526-05:00Love, love, love this film.

Audrey's clothes are a marvel and - I must confess - this is the film that made me fall in love with Peter O'Toole forever and always.FlickChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351624749230610755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799060793812204452.post-45697876171819352252016-01-10T11:47:04.008-05:002016-01-10T11:47:04.008-05:00Can't believe I haven't seen this!
