I LOLed when the Princess in Joe's bed while half asleep said how she saw a young man last night describing Joe. Dude was 40 years old, who are they kidding. Peck's character came off as a perverted stalker when he was following her around the city. sick.
shareI bet it would take me all of two minutes to find about 100 women who would give practically anything to be stalked by Gregory Peck. The original poster should not suppose that the rest of us share his/her foolish notions.
shareOP you are retarded.

Enoch_Root, now you're saying that they are attracted to a guy's money and this is what Hepburn was really after? Let's just not even go there. That sort of action is disgusting and amoral, unlike dating a person a lot older or younger than you. Ageist people are knobs.
shareThe OP is typical of the mindless droids who who have no concept of morality nor appreciation for good film making. Peck and Hepburn made fine in their respective roles - there was nothing creepy about it.
Absolutely not! And just contrast gorgeous, GORGEOUS Joe Bradley (Peck) to all the creepy OLD dudes that Princess Ann had to dance with at the ball at the beginning of the movie.
Besides, she herself said Joe Bradley was, "A handsome young man, tall and strong..." so obviously she was madly attracted to him. Age only matters if you're cheese.

Dude was hot. I don't think too many women would have a problem hooking up with a mid-30s Gregory Peck. I mean, meow.
One should always be on the lookout for fiendish thingies when enjoying winter sports.
Agree with this. He was gorgeous to me..I wouldn't mind spending the day with him in that movie.
shareActually, he came off as a desperate reporter trying to not let a huge story slip away. Maybe you just think that way more than most people. You look for the bad in everything.
This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here.
I have to jump in on this.
First of all, their ages were not discussed so how old she (Audrey) was chronologically had no bearing on her character, nor did Peck's. It's a STORY.
Now, if it were, in fact, "real"…. the Jude Law example is valid, real, and justified.
Next: My own husband and I met when he was an old man of 48 and I was 35. Same age difference. So, a note to the OP: STFU. YOu have no idea what you're talking about.

Age differences really weren't that big of a deal back then as they seem to be to some people nowdays. It was quite common for men to be with women who were quite a bit younger. And Gregory Peck was quite popular at the time, so I doubt his female fan-base was thinking he was too old for Audrey Hepburn. On the contrary, they probably were wishing they could be in her place!

I didn't think their age difference was a problem at all. If you want to complain about Audrey Hepburn implausibly finding some old man attractive, watch Sabrina or Love in the Afternoon. Those scenes with Gary Cooper in the latter made me cringe.
I'm weighing in really late on this thread, but I'm not sure she ever even got a really good look at him the night before, because she was in such a stupor and in a half-dreaming state. Compared to the stodgy men she was accustomed to keeping company with (valets, doctors, and government officials), he did seem like an attractive, virile man to her.
