A New Kind Of Love (1963)

A young woman (Joanne Woodward), who has no time for romance, flies to Paris where she intends to copycat haute couture fashion designs and sell them retail at a much lower price. On the plane, she meets a playboy journalist (Paul Newman) who mistakes her for a man. Once in Paris, she has a glamorous make over and gets her revenge. But the revenge backfires when she falls in love with him. Directed by Melville Shavelson (HOUSEBOAT), this is an unoriginal romantic comedy that suffers from the miscasting of its male lead. Paul Newman has shown a comedic sense in some of his dramatic roles but in a full out comedy, he's unable to deliver the goods. Woodward does marginally better, she seems to have a sense of the absurdity of the situation. Even with top notch farceurs like Doris Day and Rock Hudson, the script would have cobwebs on it  but at least they would infuse the movie with timing and much needed charm. The supporting cast helps some. With Maurice Chevalier, Thelma Ritter, Eva Gabor, George Tobias, Marvin Kaplan, Robert Clary and Joan Staley.
