Charade (1963)
Country: US
Technical: col 113m
Director: Stanley Donen
Cast: Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Walter Matthau, George Kennedy
Synopsis:
Priceless stamps are at the heart of an intrigue involving the late husband of a woman in Paris. Suddenly the centre of attention for a number of different men, she is unsure whom to trust.
Review:
Archetypal 'nothing is what it seems' thriller of the kind which took the Hitchcock formula of the innocent caught up in a dastardly conspiracy and fluffed it up into a frivolous artform of its own. The small-scale setting helps here and the cast is a good one.
