this may have been mentioned..

but for those of you who have the dvd, did you ever notice how the eye colors on the characters were switched around? on peter o toole its brown where audrey's are blue?

Yes, I'm glad someone else saw this too. I actually asked that in the "adore blue eyes" thread, but I guess no one saw it there!

I was wondering why they would do this considering Peter O'Toole's best features are those blue, blue eyes (the rest of him wasn't bad either back then!). I have been curious as to why they did that as well.

yeah i dont get it either and it seemed like it was such an intergral part of the movie being that she defined him by that.

I came on this board hoping I would find someone else who noticed this! That has bothered me for a long time!!

I'm not following the question. I just watched this movie last night and O'Toole's eyes are quite blue. What am I missing?

The cover of the American DVD shows O'Toole's eyes as brown and Audrey's as blue. They must have switched the colors in printing.

I was confused at first by the question as well. it is ON the DVD, not in the dvd. so the front cover of the DVD switches their eye colors. weird

In the book Audrey Hepburn, an elegant spirit there are facsimiles of passports of Audrey, and the all say eye color: brown.

Actually, I thought O'Toole's eyes were more grey than blue in the film (watched on DVD), which seemed remarkable because there are at least two mentions of his character having blue eyes, and because his eyes were so intensely blue in Lawrence of Arabia.
