Ariane Chavasse (Audrey Hepburn) is the daughter of a private detective (Maurice Chevalier), who has been hired by Mr. X, (John McGiver), a suspicious husband, to find out who his wife (Lise Bourdin) is seeing on the side. When he discovers the woman in the grip of millionaire playboy Frank Flannagan (Gary Cooper), he informs the predictably livid husband who loudly announces his intention to kill the interloper while Ariane is eavesdropping. She rushes off to warn Flannagan of his impending demise, which begins a series of afternoon meetings where she adopts the pose of a jaded lover and woman of the world. Initially amused by the ingenue's charade, the middle-aged rogue gradually becomes interested in the young woman, and after she disappears, becomes obsessed with finding her. After he unwittingly tells the story to the girl's father in a steam room, the detective agrees to help Flannagan find her. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

Everything about the over-sweet Love in the Afternoon works. Old bards like Billy Wilder, Maurice Chevalier, and Gary Cooper are all in their proper places. The theme is great, even wonderful. It’s a classic clever romantic comedy exactly according to the pre-war pattern. Its only downside (and probably a prerequisite) for such a film to be made again in the 1950s was the presence of Audrey Hepburn, this then-fashionable figure. The Hepburn girl never could act much. She was just too skinny and looked different with her thick eyebrows and angular mikado, so it was thought it would work. But it never really worked, and it was just a fad that lasted for only a moment. Fortunately, Coop was able to deal with this little knot of misfortune.
