I just finished watching it in 3 late-night sessions over the
course of a week.

It was a cute film. Grant at 59 at the time was obviously having
fun in that role. Hepburn only 34 was still quite a beauty.
The plot has several weaknesses. [1] There is no explanation how
the original $250K in gold "converts" itself into the [cbfgntr
fgnzcf]. I'd be more interested in WHO still has the gold. How
can anyone truly anticipate that something like [cbfgntr fgnzcf]
would even retain value much less increase to $250K over time.
[2] The fake CIA director: security must be really slack at the
American Embassy if an imposter can just walk in and occupy an
office! [3] The kid. His voice didn't seem to fit. It sounded
like it was just dubbed in by an adult trying to sound like a
kid [4] The rooftop action fight scene. At one point Grant is
just hanging by his fingers over the edge. Then a split second
later you see the hooked-hand antagonist flipping backwards
hitting a wall. There is no explanation how Grant got his
footing back on the roof.
In all, the film looked like a charming exercise to pair Grant
and Hepburn into a pseudo thriller trying to be a romantic-
comedy at the same time [1] the shower scene, and [2] the funny
face he makes as the true Embassy official.
