"- This is unbelievable! Look at this! There's no city like this in the world. There never was.
- You act like you've never been here before.
- I don't get here often enough, that's the problem. Can you picture how drop dead gorgeous this city is in the rain? Imagine this town in the '20s. Paris in the '20s, in the rain. The artists and writers!
- Why does every city have to be in the rain? What's wonderful about getting wet?"
Det lite omaka paret Gil (Owen Wilson), och Inez (Rachel McAdams) är i Paris på semester med Inez föräldrar. Vid midnatt varje natt förvandlas plöstligt Gils närvaro till 20-talets Paris. Woody Allen har gjort en superfin skildring av dåtidens Paris, väldigt vackra bilder och fin musik.
