Monte Carlo Baby
is a 1951
comedy film
co-directed by
Jean Boyer
and
Lester Fuller
. It featured an early performance by
Audrey Hepburn
playing a spoiled actress. Most Hepburn biographies
[
vague
]
indicate that it was during the filming of this film that Hepburn was first discovered by the playwright
Colette
and chosen for the lead role in the play
Gigi
, which would lead to Hepburn launching her acting career in
Hollywood
(though see
Secret People (film)
for an alternative account that suggests she was discovered by a film producer via that movie). In any event, this was the last movie Hepburn made before launching her Hollywood film career.
Monte Carlo Baby
was produced in the English language, while a second version of the film was made in French. Since Hepburn was fluent in French, she played the same role (although the character's name was changed). This version of the film was released in 1951 as
Nous irons a Monte Carlo
(
We're Going to Monte Carlo
).
