Charade

"Basically a suspenser or chase film, Charade has several moments of violence but they are leavened with a generous helping of spoofery. Donen plays the taut tale against a colorful background of witty dialogue, humorous situations and scenic beauty - a style that has become known as "black comedy"... Grant, suave master of romantic banter, makes a choice mate for the always delightful Miss Hepburn. The two stars carry the film effortlessly."

"Stanley Donen's typically slick comedy thriller, ingeniously scripted by Peter Stone, is a mammoth audience teaser, with a small cast of characters, bursting with multiple identities, caught up in a complicated hunt for a fortune in ld coins seemingly secreted by Audrey Hepburn's murdered husband. Cary Grant imparts his ineffable charm, George Kennedy (with metal hand) provides comic brutality, while Hepburn is elegantly fraught. There are also smart Parisian settings and smart Mancini music. The result has a chic rating of at least 180."

"The chemistry of Grant and Hepburn seems even more precious now, and for two hours it is all the treasure we could ever desire..."

"A romantic-comedy-thriller mystery that mixes slick dialogue and screwball romance with tense thrills and murder galore..."
