Life is a Sunday in the park for Aurelia (Katharine Hepburn), a dotty Parisian countess who looks as if she stepped out of a Georges Seurat painting. But sooner or later, Aurelia had to find out about the so-called sane world and its student unrest, the bomb, even its greedy scheme to transform the City of Light into a forest of oil derricks. If this is sanity, she'll do anything to stop it! In this spirited and timelier than ever satire from Jean Giradoux's famed play, Hepburn heads one of the most luminous casts ever to grace a movie marquee. Charles Boyer, Danny Kaye, Yul Brynner, Margaret Leighton, Edith Evans and more join her in a whimsical look at a topsy-turvy world...and at a handful of kooks crazy enough to care. They don't have to be crazy. But it helps. The Madwoman of Chaillot is mad enough to strike a blow for real sanity!

I never thought Katharine Hepburn and Yul Bryner would be in a movie I disliked so much and yet here it is! Two great actors babbling ridiculous lines and no plot. Richard Chamberlin is just awful. What was the point doing a water resuscitation effort on Richard Chamberlin who never went in the water? Why did he climb over the railing to simply toss a briefcase in the river? Why does an ambulance siren start ringing in the distance the instant the briefcase bomb explodes in the water and injures no one?Bad!
