Artsy Hijinks

I thought I had seen every Audrey Hepburn movie ever made, but while browsing through the Netflix Instant plays the other day, I stumbled across this film. What with all my years of Audrey idolization, especially during high school and college, I can't believe I missed this! Mark and I watched it last night, and what a treat! Peter O'Toole is dashing and Audrey is lovely as ever (only she can transform a pink nightgown and black rubber rain boots into the epitome of chic). Their zany foray into the world of high brow art collectors (and forgers!) is fabulous, and definitely a film we will watch again and again.


And on a somewhat related note, I came across this book during a lazy afternoon bookstore browsing session the other day, and was intrigued. The art world has always just seemed so glamorous; it would be interesting to read an insider's perspective. I didn't buy it then, but it's definitely on my ever growing list.

  1. Oh, I love Audrey, too! And that movie has been patiently waiting in my Netflix queue for too long. Thank you for the nudge to make it a part of my weekend -- and have a great weekend yourself down there in NC!
