Audrey Hepburn question
Has anyone seen the new Gap commercial with Audrey Hepburn? She starts dancing to AC/DC's Back in Black. Well I was curious what movie that was. Anyone know?

I'm a lifelong Audrey Hepburn fan, and the commercial makes me seriously sad. I know I can't change anything, but I would have liked to have seen them show more respect.
While watching the film, the dancing fits in with everything, but the commercial looks so goofy, I feel ashamed for her.

The dual (and quad) images of her dancing is pretty fuckin' goofy if you ask me. Imagine yourself dancing around with a mirror image of yourself, and then tell me if that wouldn't embarrass you. Her image was all about grace, and the commercial just doesn't look graceful.

Ashamed? Come on man. Don't get me wrong, I think Audrey was one of The classiest people around. But let us not forget that she was still a performer. I'll be that if she was still living she would probably think it's cute.

Gimme a fuckin' break. It's AC/DC!!!! That song and album, "Back in Black", is a rock classic...just in case you didn't know.
