Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1964 American romantic comedy film directed by Richard Quine and reuniting the stars of Sabrina — Audrey Hepburn and William Holden — a decade later.Richard Benson (Holden) is a Hollywood screenwriter who's been living it up in Gay Paree and now finds himself facing a deadline to complete a script for The Girl Who Stole the Eiffel Tower. Which he hasn't even started. He hires an agency typist, Gabrielle Simpson (Hepburn), to assist him, and over 48 hours they hash out a script and fall in love. As they do so, we see the film they write together, which is a ludicrous romp throwing together and sending up every movie cliché you can think of.

Actor Allusion: There are lots of references to Hepburn and Holden's previous movies. Richard's initial idea for the ending of the movie is exactly the same as Breakfast at Tiffany's, right down to the cat. William Holden's casting as an alcoholic is unusually on-the-nose for this trope.

Creator Killer: In universe. In the inner film, Rick plots to steal the negatives and only working print of a film, and demand payment for their return. What he doesn't know is the film in question is an utter dud that the studio head is convinced will be this and ruin him.

Creator Thumbprint: In universe, it's mentioned that Richard's screenplays always include a gratuitous Bathtub Scene. And The Girl Who Stole the Eiffel Tower is no exception.

Comically Missing the Point: Gabrielle's mother thought it was unhealthy for Gabrielle to have a thing for Dracula. Not because he's a vampire, but because "he's old enough to be your father".
