Charade

Synopsis:

This charming, romantic comedy-thriller that pairs Grant and Hepburn was intelligently scripted by Peter Stone; and directed in distinctly Hitchcockian style by Stanley Donen. The setting is Paris. A young widow, Reggie Lampert (Academy Award® and Golden Globe® winner Hepburn, Roman Holiday), is stalked by the mourners at her husband's funeral. Only later does she realize that they were after the fortune that her late husband had secreted during World War II. With Peter Joshua's (Academy Award® winner Grant, An Affair To Remember) help, she decides to recover it. Look out for the Oscar®-nominated theme song by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer, as well as an exquisitely filmed rooftop fight scene between Grant and George Kennedy; which can best be described as a harrowing experience.

Casts: James Coburn, Cary Grant, Walter Matthau, Audrey Hepburn, George Kennedy

Duration : 108 minutes
