Plot
Maurice Chevalier plays a private detective who lives in Paris. Audrey Hepburn plays his daughter Ariane, a student of the cello. Hepburn takes an interest in her father's case files and soon becomes enamored of American playboy Frank Flannigan (Cooper); jealous husbands frequently hire Chevalier to track Cooper. When Hepburn learns of one husband's intention to kill Cooper, she finds him and warns him. She is eager to start a relationship but fears her inexperience will ruin her chances with him, so she pretends to be a mysterious woman of the world. Eventually Cooper hires Chevalier to find out more about her. The story resolves as Hepburn's innocence inspires Cooper to reform and marry her.The title design was created by twentieth-century graphic designer Saul Bass.
The film popularized the song Fascination (1932 song), which is repeated throughout the score and hummed by the main characters.
