Audrey Hepburn plays a Parisienne whose husband is murdered and who finds she is being followed by four men seeking the fortune her late spouse had hidden away. Cary Grant is the stranger who comes to her aid, but his real motives aren't entirely clear--could he even be the killer? The 1963 film is directed by Stanley Donen, but it has been called "Hitchcockian" for good reason: the possible duplicities between lovers, the unspoken agendas between a man and woman sharing secrets. Charade is nowhere as significant as a Hitchcock film, but suspense-wise it holds its own; and Donen's glossy production lends itself to the welcome experience of stargazing. One wants Cary Grant to be Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn to be no one but Audrey Hepburn in a Hollywood product such as this, and they certainly don't let us down.
Synopsis
This romantic thriller marks the first screen pairing of Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. After meeting handsome Peter Joshua at a ski resort in the French Alps, Regina Lambert -- the beautiful wife of a French businessman -- returns to Paris to discover her husband has been murdered. Fearing her own life may be in danger, Regina seeks assistance at the U.S. Embassy where she learns that her husband has had criminal dealings with former World War II agents. His old partners believe Regina knows where he hid $250,000 in gold. Just as things are getting complicated, Peter mysteriously re-appears. Now Regina's must figure out who to trust, what to reveal, and how to stay out of the line of fire.
