I don’t much care for young men. Never did

“… I find them conceited, clumsy and unimaginative”. Indeed: Love in the Afternoon is the third of five films where Audrey Hepburn seduces a man much older than she is: Cooper is 56 to her 28; Bogart in Sabrina, Astaire in Funny Face, Grant in Charade, Harrison in My Fair Lady all are in their late 50’s.
