Pros: Grant and Hepburn. Suspenseful, entertaining movie.
Cons: Predictable in places.
Summary: I watch a lot of movies and many of them aren’t the newest releases. When I’m doing things around the house, I have the television on in the background. If I see something interesting, I’ll pay more attention to it. That is how I have seen many older ... read more

Cons: Slow early on. Plot is a bit confusing.
Summary: Seeing Audrey Hepburn wandering about 1960s Paris has a certain charm to it, especially when she is dressed like Jackie Kennedy, including those big O-O sunglasses. That is part of the attraction to watching Charade (1963), plus the film being a ... read more

Pros: Cary Grant takes a shower while wearing a suit
Cons: Couldn't suspend my disbelief about the kidnapping

Pros: Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant shine in this film involving a missing fortune.
Cons: A little over the top in places, but not enough to detract from the film.
Summary: One of the nice things of living where I do is that our local PBS station has a form of 'Saturday Night Movies,' where they run a feature film that is uncut and without commercials, with a commentary before and after by the host about some unknown aspect ... read more

Pros: Grant, Hepburn
Cons: Jokes, plot twists
Summary: Charade is an Alfred Hitchcock want-to-be. It’s a movie that should just kick back and relax, but instead it parades around in its insecurity. Hitchcock was a master of combining suspense, mystery, and a touch of humor here and there. ... read more

Pros: Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Matthau and the Story
Cons: (Listen to those accents!) George Kennedy's hook.
Summary: In a totally fun mystery/comedy/pre-spy era, it is easy to see how Cary Grant was the icon upon which the super-spy movie era developed. Who after all, was cooler, better looking, or more sophisticated? He was 60 years old when he made this movie, ... read more

Pros: Strong performances and great dialogue . . .
Cons: . . . from stock characters in a formulaic story.
Summary: Although its plot could more properly be called 'comatose' than 'tired,' Charade is proof that gifted actors, an inspired director, crackling dialogue, and a captivating score by a composer like Mancini at the top of his game are more important to ... read more
