Audrey Hepburn, Shirley Mclaine, James Garner... WOW! What else can I say!!! Typically it seems to me that Audrey carries the film... in this one, it is really hard to say who has the best performance. I saw this film due only in part to Audrey Hepburn's starring role in it. However, man did I get into this movie. This film was extremely controversial when it came out in the early 60's and has to do with gay rights. Definitely ahead of it's time.
