I completely disagree that Coop was miscast in this role. While I agree that Cary Grant would also have been fine, Coop was perfect. Few people apparently know that Gary Cooper was a rapacious playboy in real life, thus he played himself in the movie. So many complain that Coop looks "old" or "unsexy" in this film. All I can say is they must be seriously sight-impaired. No woman watching this film would doubt that Hepburn wouldn't instantly be attracted to and fall in love with this wonderful man.
The music is wonderful, the direction by Billy Wilder is also perfectly understated. An excellent movie.
