The first shot of Charade shows a pistol swinging ominously into a close-up - and Audrey Hepburn gets a squirt of water right in the eye. And so it goes: Charade is an elegant thriller that manages to spoof its genre while at the same time being uncommonly suspenseful. Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn are the ideal leads for keeping their cool under preposterous twists in a deadly chase through Parisian environs. The supporting heavies include James Coburn, George Kennedy and Walter Matthau. There are five corpses; the red-herrings are incalculable; the gowns are by Givenchy; the percussive score is by Henry Mancini and the point of the whole thing is style and wit for their own sake. And what better sake is there? Charade, in its own way, is one of the most radical and experimental films of the '60s.
After Regina Lampert falls for the dashing Peter Joshua on a skiing holiday in the French Alps, she discovers upon her return to Paris that her husband has been murdered. Soon, she and Peter are giving chase to three of her late husband's World War II cronies, Tex, Scobie and Gideon, who are after a quarter of a million dollars the quartet stole while behind enemy lines. But why does Peter keep changing his name?

LOVED IT! LOVED IT! LOVED IT!It's not often that two of the best actors/actresses get together and make an outstanding movie....That being said Charade really is a classic! It's one of my all-time favorites. Great suspense and great surprise ending. Keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole way through with a cleverly-funny script with the lines felt and delivered superbly by Hepburn and Grant. I HIGHLY reccomend buying this; and if your cheap and don't want to cough up the cash, at least rent it. :).Score: 5/5
A Great Comedic ThrillerAlthough this movie is from before my time, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved the storyline; it had enough twists and turns to keep me guessing until the end. Audrey and Cary killed it with their witty banter and cat/mouse games. If you enjoy the chic 60s and like some humor in your thrillers, this one's for you!.Score: 5/5

Mildly amusingWell allow me to retort. I know this movie has many fans, but I think it's just okay. It's a classy Hitchcock imitation from the Bond era, so it's fun to watch for Swigin' Sixties nostalgia. But Hepburn, as usual, is not very good except as a Givenchy clothes hanger, and while the mature Grant was suave and silvery, he's just going through the motions. They don't generate much heat or chemistry, leaving it to the strong supporting cast, the locations, the fine Mancini score and a fun screenplay. It's a diverting time-passer for a rainy Sunday afternoon, and lighthearted enough to be appealing, but I kept wishing it really was Hitchcock directing, maybe with Grace Kelly instead..Score: 3/5

****A great combo despite the 25 year age difference between Grant and Hepburn. Can imagine how thrilling it was to see on the big screens of the 60s. A classic thriller with humour as only these two can do it. Definitely worth watching..Score: 5/5
