Leave your thoughts about Love in the Afternoon.
| New York ObserverAndrew SarrisIt's the closest Wilder ever came to Ernst Lubitsch. |
| The New York TimesBosley CrowtherThis grandly sophisticated romance, which Mr. Wilder and I. A. L. Diamond have penned with a courteous nod to a novel by a Frenchman named Claude Anet, is in the great Lubitsch tradition, right down to the froth on the champagne, with a couple of fine additional "touches" that Mr. Wilder may wholly claim. |
| The New YorkerRichard BrodyThe visual gags that Wilder deploys are as stingingly cynical as ever, but here they have a newfound way with time, which they inhabit with an exquisitely controlled leisure. It’s the first of Wilder’s later and greatest films. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonUnder Billy Wilder's alternately sensitive, mirthful and loving-care direction, and with Maurice Chevalier turning in a captivating performance as a private detective specializing in cases of amour, the production holds enchantment and delight in substantial quantity. |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewAn over-long and only spasmodically amusing romantic comedy... |
| Chicago ReaderDon DrukerNot without its cruelties, but not without its beauties as well. |
| VarietyVariety StaffThe production holds enchantment and delight in substantial quantity. |
| Los Angeles TimesSusan KingThe script - Wilder's first with IAL Diamond - has its moments, but by and large it's conspicuously lacking in insight or originality, while Hepburn's fresh-faced infatuation for her all too visibly ageing guide to the adult, sensual world comes across as faintly implausible. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonMuch nearer the bottom of Wilder's career than the top. |
| DVDTalk.comDavid CorneliusIt's not a great film, but it is an endearing one. |
