CHARADE (1963)
CHARADE was a critical and box-office smash for Stanley Donen, seamlessly mixing romantic comedy with a thriller. Back in Paris after a skiing holiday, an interpreter (Audrey Hepburn) finds herself newly widowed, apartment-less and the target of thieves, including a hook-handed George Kennedy and a Southern-accented James Coburn — and then, everyone, including a solicitously helpful stranger played by Cary Grant, starts switching identities! In their only pairing, Grant and Hepburn redefine charm and sophistication amid witty remarks, frantic chases and the most romantic boat ride in history. DIR/PROD Stanley Donen; SCR Peter Stone. U.S., 1963, color, 113 min. NOT RATED
