Synopsis
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!
