...The best Hitchcock film that Hitchcock never made: posh, witty, with [Grant] skating deliciously on the edge of absurdity... -- Rating: A-

Rating: 2.5/5 -- I tell you, this light-hearted picture is full of such gruesome violence. Full Review

Made when the studio system was on its last legs, Charade still feels fresh, quick-witted, nothing like the artificial, airless Hollywood pictures of its time. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- It's glossy, charming, silly, and far too self-aware to be at all thrilling. Full Review
Empire Magazine

Rating: 4/5 -- A novel, auteur-driven film populated with reliably charismatic stars; even at the age of 50 it leaves most modern produce in the dust. It was also a hit. Five decades later, why has Hollywood not learnt their lesson? Full Review

Firsttime teaming of Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn, a natural, gives the sophisticated romantic caper an international appeal, plus the selling points of adventure, suspense and suberb comedy. Full Review

Product Description:

Lovely Reggie (Audrey Hepburn) is determined to divorce her wealthy, cold, and closed-mouthed husband, but someone throws him from a train before she gets the chance. Left penniless in Paris with police suspicion resting heavily upon her, Reggie soon realizes she's in serious trouble--her husband stole money from three unscrupulous men, and they want the money back. Charming and amusing Cary Grant, recalling his screwball comedy days while still remaining manly, comes to Reggie's aid. But he too has secrets and hidden loyalties. With the bodies piling up and the money nowhere to be found, Grant and Hepburn dash through Paris toward the startling solution.

Agatha Christie-like in its unexpected twists and colorful characters and shimmering with fun and passion, CHARADE is a suspense gem that deserves to be much better known than it is. The supporting cast, led by Walter Matthau, James Coburn, and George Kennedy, is terrific, the interaction between Hepburn and Grant is an absolute joy, and Stanley Donen's playful direction all combine to make this film a small classic.

Charade Movie Lover: from CASTLEGAR, BC CA -- November, 9, 2016

Audrey Hepburn is a class act in this movie. She is such
a natural actress and plays her part with such ease. The rest
of the cast are well known actors and Cary Grant is
delightful as well. A few comedic lines were well inserted
in the story line keeping the flow of the initial movie running
very smoothly. A delightful watch!
