US 1956, d Stanley Donen

Although firmly established as a global box office phenomenon, Hepburn was still capable of feeling star struck herself -

"I remember the first time we met: he was wearing a yellow shirt, grey flannels, a red scarf knotted around his waist instead of a belt, and the famous feet were clad in soft moccasins and pink socks. He was also wearing that irrepressible smile. One look at this most debonair, elegant and distinguished of legends and I could feel myself turn into solid lead, while my heart sank into my two left feet. Then suddenly I felt a hand around my waist and, with his inimitable grace and lightness, he literally swept me off my feet. I experienced the thrill that all women at some point in their lives have dreamed of - to dance, just once, with Fred Astaire."
