Though not as charming or touching as Sabrina, Wilder's 1957 romantic comedy teams Gary Cooper and Audrey Hepburn and serves as a good star vehicle for both.

It was hard to get excited about such an overlong dreary tale, where Cooper was miscast and the champagne fizzles.

An over-long and only spasmodically amusing romantic comedy...

This film was produced by Mr. Wilder for Allied Artists -- in black-and-white. It is a hit.

As Andrew Sarris says, not without its cruelties, but not without its beauties as well.

Much nearer the bottom of Wilder's career than the top.

It's the closest Wilder ever came to Ernst Lubitsch.

Love in the Afternoon had great locations going for it. It also had the winsome charm of Hepburn, the elfin puckishness of Chevalier, a literate script by Wilder and Diamond, and an airy feeling that wafted the audience along.

The production holds enchantment and delight in substantial quantity.

It's quite long, Hepburn sports one of her worst hairstyles, and Cooper and Hepburn's glaring age difference (28 years) is distracting, but this is a wonderful, charming romantic comedy nonetheless.
