Yes they are matched by Princess Matchabelli. Also Grace Kelly, Martha Hyer, Donna Reed, and other assorted starlets. Beauty is only skin deep. Ugliness goes to the bone.
"For a few moments, they were mine. That was enough." First watched this decades ago, when I was in high school. The stamp collector's scene, and that line, have stuck in my mind all these years. So did the funeral, with the pin-stuck corpse. As many have said, the best Hitchcock film Hitchcock never made.
@@tiffanyrun8742 ok yes, agree this film is great but your comment confuses me. The last line of the comment you replied to, not verbatim is: (this is) “the best Hitchcock film (that) Hitchcock NEVER MADE.” Apparently this is a common saying about Charade. The producer/director for this movie was a man named Stanley Donen. No it’s not like I’m smart or anything - I just made sure to read & understand the entire original comment then taking a second to google - before i endeavored to reply. How can someone form an answer when they obviously haven’t completely read & understood the “question”?! .. maybe toss in a few trolls - think this could be how wars get started .. 😢
I have big respect for the collector. It would be so easy for him to claim he didn't have them, or argue that he traded fairly for them, to dig in his heels in so many different ways to keep them for himself. But he doesn't, he accepts that the boy could not have understood what he had, politely explained what they were to Reggie and then returned them. As the quote says, it was enough that he could forever after say he not only saw them (since he mentions he has never seen real examples before) but once possessed them. In a film where people are dying and killing to possess them, solely for the monetary value they represent, the collector, who appreciated them on a level no other character does, chooses to do the honourable thing and return them to their rightful owner.
@@JamesTobiasStewart Yes: compare that to a story today where an innocent and presumably ignorant, or at least simple, French couple sold an African mask they found in the attic or inherited or something to a dealer who then sold it for millions. They sued him, as they felt he had not given them an honest appraisal when they approached him. The court found for the dealer, choosing to opine that the due diligence had been up to the couple. Honour is a forgotten concept.
"We took the liberty of calling your dentist" "Did you find out anything?" "Yes your appointment has been changed." Beyond perfect dark comeadic timing.

Thomas Chelimsky, who plays the 7-year 0ld Jean Louis in "Charade", today is a noted Neurologist and Professor and Chairman of the Department of Neurology at the Medical College of Wisconsin. His sister, Kathy, also appeared in a film with Audrey Hepburn entitled "Two For the Road," 1967. Neither pursued careers as actors. They both became physicians in the United States. Source: Google.
One of my favorite movies. Because of their age difference Grant felt it inappropriate for his character to be chasing the much younger Audrey Hepburn, but agreed to do this movie only if Hepburn was chasing him instead. Didn't matter who was chasing who, the chemistry between Grant and Hepburn is undeniable, and sparkling.
I truly love this movie. The story line was brilliant. Plot twisted all and there. The whole movie keeps you guessing who's and who's. Ugh, i give this movie 10 out of 10.. Audrey and Cary chemistry were amazing despite age differences. Still they delivered their character very well. And i love how seducing audrey here. She's truly an icon. Rip Audrey hepburn and Cary grant.
out of all the old guys Audrey Hepburn usually played opposite to, her and Cary Grant worked the best. the film she did opposite Gary Cooper was creepy - felt like I was watching a love story between her and her grandfather. that's why I loved Breakfast at Tiffanys - finally a leading man her age.
Lovely movie ! Audrey Hepburn's not just lovely and stylish, she speaks so beautifully too , with a crystal clear British diction . In today's movies you can scarcely make out what someone's saying. The part about the stamps reminded me of Agatha Christie's "Spider's Web".
One of my favorite actresses, Audrey Hepburn. A woman that really stood out with class and charm during a time of blond bombshells. Thank you for making this available for people like myself to enjoy. Edit: I truly enjoyed that thank you so ever much for posting it.
@@leonoranicolaysen2784thank goodness. It was and has remained one of my favorite movies since it came out. As others have said, a perfect blend and balance of story, suspense, humor, and I add - music by Henry Mancini!
I saw Charade and Breakfast at Tiffany's at the RCA Music Hall, NYC, playing along with musical acts and the Rockettes show, when the films were first-run. They were stunning in that venue. Genius at every level.
Hepburn is gorgeous and Grant is handsome and their chemistry is fantastic!!! Grant was 59 and Hepburn 34 and despite the difference they meshed perfectly!! Plot fun and exciting! One of my favorite movies of all time!
As a kid growing up in Palm Springs during the 50s, I delivered papers to a number of stars' homes. Cary Grant had a big mansion set back from the street on a long circular driveway. I always took my time pedaling around that driveway, but alas, never caught a glimpse 🌴🌴
I hadn't seen this delightful film before. It manages to combine suspense with comedy and the script sparkles with humour. Great chemistry between gorgeous Cary Grant and the lovely Audrey Hepburn and some really funny scenes. Also loved the use of the trap door at the theatre near the end. You wouldn't expect a comedy/romance/thriller to work but it does. Also nice to see the Paris of the early 1960s. Very entertaining and a strong supporting cast. I remember playing that orange passing game at a school party decades ago.
As an Englishman living in France, 'Charade' and 'To catch a thief' have me wishing for their simple class and elegance in the world of today........Even the murders had a certain 'Je ne sais quoi' about them.
I never expected so much comedy in a thriller/mystery movie like this. And yet, it broke the tension marvellously. Plus, it’s just a fantastic script with brilliant acting from Carey Grant and Audrey Hepburn 😎👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Edit: My favourite part in the script was what Carey Grant said about people lying because they want something and telling the truth won’t get it for them. Genius 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
What a wonderful movie. Audrey Hepburn looks gorgeous, and Cary Grant although older also still looks handsome. And especially Audrey Hepburn does such wonderful acting. The romance is lovely, the comedy is lovely and so is the thriller part. One of the best movies I have ever seen.
Just as Ive kept saying. Actors are good at deceit. But it should be kept for the cinema and not in a person's private life. As a former stamp collector, this movie premise was grand.
MICHAEL SCOTT deceptive Hollywood studios did that to him, not religion. As a woman I loose the interest Hollywood banks on for their leading men once I find out they are gay! It’s a natural human response! Learn to blame the right people.
Problem was that Audrey hardly ate much at all. In most of her movie scenes where she is suppose to eat, she avoids it. Makes u wonder if she kind of had anorexia in the day being SO thin yet little was known about it. I know however she did eat cigarettes, she was a chain smoker but I did adore her & her films. Cheers.
@@pikemeredith5604 She wasnt anorexic but she actually was kinda malnourished when she was a child due to the WWII and belgium where she lived at that time being in a very bad situation. She did eat a lot and loved to feed people but due to the lack of good food and growth when she was younger she never really put on much weight and was very thin her entire life.
I work with someone like this and it always reminds me of this line 😂😂😂😂😂😂 this is one of my ultimate fave movies, I will never get bored of watching it.
These movies remind me of my gramdma's era. Also very well spoken, full of class & pose. My favouite scene of them walking down the Seine River passing the iconic landmarks and architecture. ❤️😍 It's like another world, full of romance & possibilities.
That's why we see these movies in the end, or for me first of all - to be reminded of what it was and of Hope - that it can be done, because it WAS done before, and it was very good!!! Otherwise, these movies ironically, have played a major part into the upheaval and inversion of everything that we are living today....That may God help us and save us in the end!!!! ✝️
One of my absolute favorite movies! And what great twists and turns. Even when you think you've got it all figured out, only one possible conclusion - you're still wrong. Romance, comedy, mystery, suspense - it's got it all!
Ms Hepburn was and is a definition of grace and elegance! Her every move has precision and subtlety stamped on it! A complete entertainer from way back 60s!❤️
Had no idea that this even existed, so glad I stumbled on it! Definitely worth it, superb story line and great acting. Love Audrey in everything I've seen her in, and Cary Grant's deadpan delivery is gold.
Cary grant looks so good for his age. Audrey acted alongside many actors who were a lot older than her. However even though there’s a big age gap between her and Cary, their romance is so believable and it’s not creepy at all. They have so much chemistry. I love this movie so much. ❤️
When Gary Cooper was casted with Audrey Hepburn in 1957 "Love in the Afternoon", he was criticized for being too old to play with Hepburn. Truthfully, he looked like Hepburn's grandfather in the movie. But in here, Cary Grant still looked beautiful and fresh despite being 59 years old. The chemistry with Hepburn is apparent and awesome, I can enjoy the movie throughout.
Director Stanley Donen, knocks it out of the park with Charade. Yes a few times I expected Hitchcook to be passing by, no disrespect to Stanley Donen. Long live the Golden age of cinema!
I too. Saw it at Radio City Music Hall. Remember seeing "Follow Me Boys"..."Father Goose"..."That Darn Cat"... as well. Back then times were better, less complicated and the movies better.
Carey Grant: Do we know each other? Audrey Hepburn: Why do you think we're going to? CG: I don't know. How could I know? AH: 'Cause I already know an awful lot of people and until one of them dies I couldn't possibly meet anyone else. CG: Hmm. Well, if anyone goes on the critical list let me know. 😉
@Corno di Bassetto that's why it's called for cinematic or heightened effect duh. You probably think of that for all comedies with their witty banter and wordplay. I bet you thought Shakespeare In Love's dialogue was contrived too. Duh it is essentially contrived because it was written for the screen.
4 года назад
@Corno di Bassetto You're stupid.
4 года назад+1
@Corno di Bassetto And this is why you remain stupid. You haven't understood the film. You've been given an intelligent exegesis of one of your errors, and your response is as hysterical, irrelevant and thick as your commentary.
There are several little deadpan bits of dialogue like this throughout the film that are on par, but i think this might be my favourite. "... goes on the critical list..." The whole script is great, but the ludicrous & wry humor in these quick, little interchanges elevates it & makes them gems. Priceless!
One of the best movies ever filmed. Audrey Hepburn is not as good comedian as it is as an actress, but the lines are funny on their own. With the raise of internet scammers, every time someone I don't know at all, writes me and asks to be my friend, that line: Impossible, I have so many friends that until one of them dies, I can't accept any other, it always comes very handy. Excellent movie. Music by Henry Mancini (Pink Panther franchise, Mr. Lucky)
Mancini was able to use music so well in many of his movies. He used certain sounds at times which created thoughts like voices. The direction was very Hitchcock like.
Never heard of this movie before but a clip of it was in a tactical shooter game called Ready or Not on a level called Sins of the Father. I doubt I'm the only Ready or Not player who decided to check this movie out in full. 🙂 I like older movies but never heard of this one before. Decided to watch it, cool fun movie to watch. 7/10.
If Webster's is in need of a definition of charm and wit, they might as well just insert a link to this movie. Grant and Hepburn epitomize grace like no one else. No matter how many times I watch this film, it always leaves me with a warm glow. And Walter Mathau is likewise the perfect villain. Great, great film.
This is what the 60's we're all about, movie madness, because the other things that happened that year were a lot less than humorous. Vietnam and the Kennedy assassination. Audrey Hepburn was wonderful and Cary Grant's dry delivery humor kept us going. Haven't seen this for quite a while. Thank you so much.
I think this is one of a few movies that the studio didn't renew its copyright hold in time. It's a Wonderful Life was like that, but it was a good thing with the Jimmy Stewart film. After it's copyright had expired, it became popular that way.
I remember the first time I saw this, it was terrific. Now after watching it again, it is still terrific. That is the mark of a great film. I wish someone would upload "How to Steal a MIllion". It was another Audrey Hepburn movie. Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn are two of my favorite actors. It is too bad they had to age and die. They don't have actors like that anymore.
it’s too bad they had to age and die? lol that’s the circle of life, nothing anyone can do to stop it from happening. It’s more like, too bad they’re not around with us anymore and we’re stuck with talentless actors and actresses who put anything on film for a fat check.
Henry Mancini, composer extraordinaire, nominated for 18 Oscars (including Charade), and winner of four. Breakfast at Tiffany's (Moon River), one of his best
I've loved this since I was a kid. (I was born in early 80's) this was on vhs. Me and the gang (siblings) watched this over and over. The intro is childhood!!! And Mancini did the music!!!
Thank sweet heaven for Cary's reluctant concern about seeming lecherous with his much younger co-star. Audrey as instigator makes for superb story plus fertile ground for witty dialogue.
My favourite movie of all time, it's interesting as a murder mystery, the romance and comedy between Regina and Peter (let's call him that) is so well acted and entertaining, and the puzzle of the money and it's form just blends perfectly into the plot.
Archibald Leach! Brining up Baby, Penny Serenade, Arsenic and old Lace, Mr. Blandings builds his dream house, The Bishops Wife, That touch of mink, and Houseboat are my favorites of his.
There's a line "I already told you why I can't tell you why" love that line. "But I do believe is what I don't believe" is another. Very clever lines and she recited them so well.
@Michael O Callaghan -- The film is scripted from Audrey Hepburn's perspective: strange, threatening things are happening, but she doesn't know why they're happening until almost the end of the movie.
Michael O Callaghan I’m also 27 and grew up on it. My step-father picked it out, and I almost didn’t want to watch it at about 6 for the same reasons (I was a little girl, if that makes a difference, lol). One of my favorite movies, then and now-couldn’t get enough of it.
These movies make me think of things you rarely hear anymore; the clatter of typewriter keys, the ring of a telephone and clunky sound it makes when you put it back in it's cradle and the crackle when the needle of a phonograph hits the vinyl record
Some critics call this sub-Hitchcock, but Hitch made several movies that I'd say were sub-Charade. Paradine Case, I Confess, Topaz, Family Plot. This one's far more entertaining than any of that lot. Cary & Audrey are wonderful together!
My favorite movie!!! Loved it all -especially the theme song!!! Great score from Mancini. Plus I have the 45 of Andy Williams singing “Charade.” Played it over and over when the movie came out,
The Scripts is so witty and classy. The mix between comedy and thriller is brilliant as is the timing. There are so many epic lines. I gave seen this movie so often and still love it.
A time when the actor/actress mastered his/her craft💪 There was no need for green screens or pyrotechnics to keep the audience engaged. Substance and a clear understanding of the characters objective, was PARAMOUNT above all else👍 Style, class and a strong screen presence, they don't call them the🎭CLASSICS for no reason✌
I saw this movie the year it came out, the same year I graduated High School. Love all the old stars; none of them are around now. The movie is still one of my favorites.
The person who wrote the dialogue deserved an Oscar for this. There aren't many movies with as many witty lines as this. And both superstars excelled in delivering them. The twisted plot ain't too shabby either - and without resorting to far out conspiracies. Every new explanation seems like a reasonable possibility. Overall, the entire picture is just a true class act. There is only one scene that I didn't get. At 1:13:47, "Bartholomew" calls her after the shower scene and he is jumping up and down. Is that just something on this video that went out of whack, or is that the actual scene and it is supposed to mean something? I'd appreciate if someone out there with an explanation can help out.
Actually Peter Stone got an Oscar for writing Father Goose which starred Cary Grant and Leslie Caron. A hilarious film, watch it if you’ve never seen it. Instead of a debonair charmer Cary plays a grumpy slob.
@@nhmooytis7058 Thanks a lot. I accepted your tip and viewed Father Goose. I found it to be delightfully silly fun, and I enjoyed every minute of it. It is similar to Charade only in the sense of its fast moving, funny one-liners, and its extraordinarily talented male star, but Leslie Caron is not even close to Audrey Hepburn, either in looks or in acting talent.
@@lsmart agree about Audrey vs Leslie although I do love Caron in Gigi. Actually Audrey played Gigi in the 1951 stage play but was too old by the time the movie was made. As for Cary in Father Goose while I adore him in his romantic lead roles I also love it when he does comedy, he’s hilarious in Bringing Up Baby! Also appreciate his ‘darker’ roles like Devlin in Notorious. Truth is he could do anything. The scene in An Affair to Remember where Nicky realizes the crippled woman who bought his painting was Terry/Deborah Kerr is first class acting, subtle and very moving.
Audrey Hepburn is a marvelous actress, and pairing her with the debonair Cary Grant is a marvelous match. They're magic in this film. The child who plays Jean Louis is darling. He is probably over 60 years old today. Watch this film. It's worth your time.
* Little kiddie French accent -- adorable. * Also, the merry-go-round version of the "Charade" theme song -- I like it! * I LIKE a movie once in awhile where Walter Matthau is a bad guy. * OUCH! Matthau falling through that trap door is really going to put a hitch in his git-along.
It's good, but I'll submit some that I think are better. "What's the matter, Mother? Are you scared?" - The Little Foxes "Shut up and deal." - The Apartment "I've got an idea." - The Italian Job "Love means never having to say you're sorry." "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard." - What's Up, Doc? "You still owe me two hundred dollars." - Paper Moon "As you wish." - The Princess Bride
What I admire the most about Mrs. Lampert is the way she managed to remain calm even in the most bizarre situation even when in danger, and surrounded by money hungry lunatics... It must take the most of someone to over come this enviroment, on the brighter side she's also accompanied by a great man, with good manners and principle! #Charade #1963 #AudreyHepburn #CaryGrant #2023 ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
One of my all time favorite line - "Do you know what's wrong with you... nothing." Audrey's class act and beauty will never be matched!!

Terribly underrated movie, considering the twists toward the revelations at the end. Great actors as well.
These movies remind me of my gramdma's era. Also very well spoken, full of class & pose.
My favouite scene of them walking down the Seine River passing the iconic landmarks and architecture. ❤️😍 It's like another world, full of romance & possibilities.
That's why we see these movies in the end, or for me first of all - to be reminded of what it was and of Hope - that it can be done, because it WAS done before, and it was very good!!! Otherwise, these movies ironically, have played a major part into the upheaval and inversion of everything that we are living today....That may God help us and save us in the end!!!! ✝️
One of my absolute favorite movies! And what great twists and turns. Even when you think you've got it all figured out, only one possible conclusion - you're still wrong. Romance, comedy, mystery, suspense - it's got it all!
And don’t forget the look of it and the sound- a memorable score that adds rather than detracts, and the fashion! The sets! Paris!
Ms Hepburn was and is a definition of grace and elegance! Her every move has precision and subtlety stamped on it! A complete entertainer from way back 60s!❤️
Coming from an aristocratic family, being a classical ballerina during her youth and having multiple cultures helped a lot😊
Audrey is just so gorgeous
Thank you
she was
Even when she played the nun she was beautiful!!🎶
She looks like his daughter
Whose daughter
Had no idea that this even existed, so glad I stumbled on it! Definitely worth it, superb story line and great acting. Love Audrey in everything I've seen her in, and Cary Grant's deadpan delivery is gold.
The opening scenes are some of the most witty on screen. Love them!
Audrey's outfits are just SLAY OMG
“I love you adam”
“I know, you already told me”
“No, last time i said i love you, Alex”
😂
Another good line.
😂😂😂😂😂
Cary grant looks so good for his age. Audrey acted alongside many actors who were a lot older than her. However even though there’s a big age gap between her and Cary, their romance is so believable and it’s not creepy at all. They have so much chemistry. I love this movie so much. ❤️
its only 25 years lol XD
He could be her dad.. nowadays grandpa
Totally agree - they are great together.

When Gary Cooper was casted with Audrey Hepburn in 1957 "Love in the Afternoon", he was criticized for being too old to play with Hepburn. Truthfully, he looked like Hepburn's grandfather in the movie. But in here, Cary Grant still looked beautiful and fresh despite being 59 years old. The chemistry with Hepburn is apparent and awesome, I can enjoy the movie throughout.
Men have deeper voices in the past. They all sound like Frank Sinatra
I love Gary Cooper but he did not age well at all.
@@govegan6112 He sure as Hell didn't...
59 is unbelievable!!
Love in the afternoon is sooo darling! Their age difference only adds to its “darlingness”.
Audrey and Cary, you cant go wrong, this is one of my all time favorite movies
I love how the sound of their voice echoed when they went under the bridge on that boat, the attention to detail is amazing
Director Stanley Donen, knocks it out of the park with Charade.
Yes a few times I expected Hitchcook to be passing by, no disrespect to Stanley Donen.
Long live the Golden age of cinema!
Yes, I often forget it’s not a Hitchcock!
Love this movie saw it as a kid and still love it now!
They were real actors back then!
So true.
I too.
Saw it at Radio City Music Hall.
Remember seeing "Follow Me Boys"..."Father Goose"..."That Darn Cat"... as well.
Back then times were better, less complicated and the movies better.
Carey Grant: Do we know each other?
Audrey Hepburn: Why do you think we're going to?
CG: I don't know. How could I know?
AH: 'Cause I already know an awful lot of people and until one of them dies I couldn't possibly meet anyone else.
CG: Hmm. Well, if anyone goes on the critical list let me know. 😉
@Corno di Bassetto that's why it's called for cinematic or heightened effect duh. You probably think of that for all comedies with their witty banter and wordplay. I bet you thought Shakespeare In Love's dialogue was contrived too. Duh it is essentially contrived because it was written for the screen.
@Corno di Bassetto You're stupid.
@Corno di Bassetto And this is why you remain stupid. You haven't understood the film. You've been given an intelligent exegesis of one of your errors, and your response is as hysterical, irrelevant and thick as your commentary.
There are several little deadpan bits of dialogue like this throughout the film that are on par, but i think this might be my favourite. "... goes on the critical list..." The whole script is great, but the ludicrous & wry humor in these quick, little interchanges elevates it & makes them gems. Priceless!
One of the best movies ever filmed. Audrey Hepburn is not as good comedian as it is as an actress, but the lines are funny on their own. With the raise of internet scammers, every time someone I don't know at all, writes me and asks to be my friend, that line: Impossible, I have so many friends that until one of them dies, I can't accept any other, it always comes very handy. Excellent movie. Music by Henry Mancini (Pink Panther franchise, Mr. Lucky)
Mancini was able to use music so well in many of his movies. He used certain sounds at times which created thoughts like voices.
The direction was very Hitchcock like.
When somebody replies: "Let me know if someone goes on the critical list," you might have found someone worth knowing... Lol.
It? Terrible!
@@Kate-lk6tw ???
I so love this film. So much fun...a terrific mystery. And 2 of the greatest actors ever. The chemistry here is superb. I watch CHARADE once a year.
Never heard of this movie before but a clip of it was in a tactical shooter game called Ready or Not on a level called Sins of the Father. I doubt I'm the only Ready or Not player who decided to check this movie out in full. 🙂
I like older movies but never heard of this one before. Decided to watch it, cool fun movie to watch.
7/10.
OMG he was such a handsome man at any age. He was such a joy to watch and listen to his beautiful voice.
If Webster's is in need of a definition of charm and wit, they might as well just insert a link to this movie. Grant and Hepburn epitomize grace like no one else. No matter how many times I watch this film, it always leaves me with a warm glow. And Walter Mathau is likewise the perfect villain. Great, great film.
Love that first sentence.
Totally agree😊
She is my absolute favorite beautiful, funny and elegant
This is what the 60's we're all about, movie madness, because the other things that happened that year were a lot less than humorous. Vietnam and the Kennedy assassination. Audrey Hepburn was wonderful and Cary Grant's dry delivery humor kept us going. Haven't seen this for quite a while. Thank you so much.
Classics. Never die. This is definitely a classic and classy. One off my favorites!!!
It is amazing that a movie of this quality appears on RUclips.
I think this is one of a few movies that the studio didn't renew its copyright hold in time. It's a Wonderful Life was like that, but it was a good thing with the Jimmy Stewart film. After it's copyright had expired, it became popular that way.
Don’t bring attention to that we might lose it. Lol
it's been on public domain since it's release because Universal failed to place a proper copyright mark
Plenty of fine quality films on yt. Just keep digging.
another really good one is DESIREE 1954 with Marlon Brando as Napoleon.
The opening titles, Mancini's music, the cast, the fashions. What a classy movie.
I remember the first time I saw this, it was terrific. Now after watching it again, it is still terrific. That is the mark of a great film. I wish someone would upload "How to Steal a MIllion". It was another Audrey Hepburn movie. Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn are two of my favorite actors. It is too bad they had to age and die. They don't have actors like that anymore.
it’s too bad they had to age and die? lol that’s the circle of life, nothing anyone can do to stop it from happening. It’s more like, too bad they’re not around with us anymore and we’re stuck with talentless actors and actresses who put anything on film for a fat check.
@Jesse Oaks
Gentle stranger passing by, as you are now so once was I.
As I am now, so you shall be, therefore plan to follow me.
Cary Grant died the day my son was born, 11/29/86. The nurses were crying! ☹️
How to Steal a Million is one of my favorite Audrey Hepburn movies,
Such an underappreciated flick. Thrilling, funny and exciting. Does it get any better than Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant?
Yes. Audrey and Gary Cooper in Love in the Afternoon. Unbeatable.😍
not really
@@Conservative-i3f Coop didn’t have Carys charm!
@@Conservative-i3f No - as much as I love Gary Cooper, he looked terrible in that movie and much too old for Audrey.
*_NO._* .. considering that they are my two favorite actors, it could not *_POSSIBLY_* get any better! So i agree, you are correct - *_NO._* 😉
Just the titles. The music alone the sixties will never be beaten for this kind of movie ...
The titles with the music. Saw it in the theater when it came out. I was changed.
Henry Mancini, composer extraordinaire, nominated for 18 Oscars (including Charade), and winner of four. Breakfast at Tiffany's (Moon River), one of his best
I LOVE THIS OLD CLASSIC CHARADE.
What a classic movie… changed my bad mood into something so light and so carefree… beautiful movie 10/10
"I hope we have a lot of boys and we can name them all after you" 😂
I just finished watching it 2 minutes ago and just heard that line for the first time.
George Foreman called all of his 7 sons George ,
@ thank you,,
Like peter junior, alex junior and adam junior ...hahahha
Henry Mancini is a genius when it comes to scores for movies and tv series.
I've loved this since I was a kid. (I was born in early 80's) this was on vhs. Me and the gang (siblings) watched this over and over. The intro is childhood!!!
And Mancini did the music!!!
Thank sweet heaven for Cary's reluctant concern about seeming lecherous with his much younger co-star. Audrey as instigator makes for superb story plus fertile ground for witty dialogue.
My favourite movie of all time, it's interesting as a murder mystery, the romance and comedy between Regina and Peter (let's call him that) is so well acted and entertaining, and the puzzle of the money and it's form just blends perfectly into the plot.
“ it is infuriating that your unhappiness does not turn to fat” haha 😆😆😆😆
🤣😂🤣
😂🤣😂🤣😂
Min 4:15
Fun fact: This movie entered the public domain after it released. Because they forgot to add the ©️ symbol at the end of the credits.
Wow! 😮 That's one helluva omission.
Archibald Leach! Brining up Baby, Penny Serenade, Arsenic and old Lace, Mr. Blandings builds his dream house, The Bishops Wife, That touch of mink, and Houseboat are my favorites of his.
Watch His Girl Friday, you'll be floored.
@@steveg8322 I've seen some of that one but not all of it.
Rhat touch of mink with Doris Day. and for sure-Houseboat with Sophia Loren!
@@elaineburnett5230 for the longest time I would only eat my pizza folded in half after I saw Sofia do that in Houseboat.
I love all of those to death!!!
"What are you doing following me? Do I look like a parade?!" 😂
My favorit movie with my two favorit actors. Seen more than 10 times and never have enough of it.
The old movies have come on RUclips !! Audrey's running with her heeled shoes was fantastic !! Thanks ,God Bless!!
Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant my favorites along with Doris Day
I could watch their movies all day and night.
There's a line "I already told you why I can't tell you why" love that line. "But I do believe is what I don't believe" is another. Very clever lines and she recited them so well.
As someone once said, "This is the best Hitchcock movie that Hitchcock never made."
Stanley Donen.
@@catchaser52 -- Thank you.
@Michael O Callaghan -- The film is scripted from Audrey Hepburn's perspective: strange, threatening things are happening, but she doesn't know why they're happening until almost the end of the movie.
Michael O Callaghan I’m also 27 and grew up on it. My step-father picked it out, and I almost didn’t want to watch it at about 6 for the same reasons (I was a little girl, if that makes a difference, lol). One of my favorite movies, then and now-couldn’t get enough of it.
@@kevinbyrne4538 and
Love them. Love them as a couple.
For the millionth time I'm watching it
These movies make me think of things you rarely hear anymore; the clatter of typewriter keys, the ring of a telephone and clunky sound it makes when you put it back in it's cradle and the crackle when the needle of a phonograph hits the vinyl record
She was so smart, funny and beautiful. And she spoke dutch perfectly too. My kind of woman.
She was Dutch. :)
Probably the only movie to successfully cover 3 genres: suspense, romance, comedy.
One of my favorite movies ever. I loved it and i can watch it again and again.👍👏🎉
Doesn't matter how many times I've seen the movie, when Cary's character yells, "Reggie, stop! That man is Carson Dyle!", I still get shivers.
Seriously! The tension is incredible. I want to take nitro pills whenever I watch it.
Actually it’s Oscar Madison!
Me too! One of the best plot twists in cinematic history.
It's Charley Varrick
I love this movie. What a classic!
Audrey was great in this film. One of the best movies ever.
Some critics call this sub-Hitchcock, but Hitch made several movies that I'd say were sub-Charade. Paradine Case, I Confess, Topaz, Family Plot. This one's far more entertaining than any of that lot. Cary & Audrey are wonderful together!
My favorite movie!!! Loved it all -especially the theme song!!! Great score from Mancini. Plus I have the 45 of Andy Williams singing “Charade.” Played it over and over when the movie came out,
“I hope we have a lot of boys and we can name them all after you.” Best ending line ever.
Great classic, I just love Audrey & Gary. They were great actors. Thanks
Cary.....not Gary....🎵🎵
Thanks
Ill never get tired of that ending
The Scripts is so witty and classy. The mix between comedy and thriller is brilliant as is the timing. There are so many epic lines. I gave seen this movie so often and still love it.
Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn, what a pair. This was a fun movie
A time when the actor/actress mastered his/her craft💪
There was no need for green screens or pyrotechnics to keep the audience engaged.
Substance and a clear understanding of the characters objective, was PARAMOUNT above all else👍
Style, class and a strong screen presence, they don't call them the🎭CLASSICS for no reason✌
"Being murdered is not nonsense, you should try it sometime." Is one of the best quotes ever
I saw this movie the year it came out, the same year I graduated High School. Love all the old stars; none of them are around now. The movie is still one of my favorites.
The person who wrote the dialogue deserved an Oscar for this. There aren't many movies with as many witty lines as this. And both superstars excelled in delivering them. The twisted plot ain't too shabby either - and without resorting to far out conspiracies. Every new explanation
seems like a reasonable possibility. Overall, the entire picture is just a true class act.
There is only one scene that I didn't get. At 1:13:47, "Bartholomew" calls her after the shower scene and he is jumping up and down. Is that just something on this video that went out of whack, or is that the actual scene and it is supposed to mean something? I'd appreciate if someone out there with an explanation can help out.
They did get one
The first time I saw this movie I really started to think that Cary Grant was a bad guy. And then I was dumbfounded at who he really is. Well played.
Actually Peter Stone got an Oscar for writing Father Goose which starred Cary Grant and Leslie Caron. A hilarious film, watch it if you’ve never seen it. Instead of a debonair charmer Cary plays a grumpy slob.
@@nhmooytis7058 Thanks a lot. I accepted your tip and viewed Father Goose. I found it to be delightfully silly fun, and I enjoyed every minute of it. It is similar to Charade only in the sense of its fast moving, funny one-liners, and its extraordinarily talented male star, but Leslie Caron is not even close to Audrey Hepburn, either in looks or in acting talent.
@@lsmart agree about Audrey vs Leslie although I do love Caron in Gigi. Actually Audrey played Gigi in the 1951 stage play but was too old by the time the movie was made. As for Cary in Father Goose while I adore him in his romantic lead roles I also love it when he does comedy, he’s hilarious in Bringing Up Baby! Also appreciate his ‘darker’ roles like Devlin in Notorious. Truth is he could do anything. The scene in An Affair to Remember where Nicky realizes the crippled woman who bought his painting was Terry/Deborah Kerr is first class acting, subtle and very moving.
Audrey Hepburn is a marvelous actress, and pairing her with the debonair Cary Grant is a marvelous match. They're magic in this film. The child who plays Jean Louis is darling. He is probably over 60 years old today. Watch this film. It's worth your time.
* Little kiddie French accent -- adorable.
* Also, the merry-go-round version of the "Charade" theme song -- I like it!
* I LIKE a movie once in awhile where Walter Matthau is a bad guy.
* OUCH! Matthau falling through that trap door is really going to put a hitch in his git-along.
"Look, I admit I came to Paris to escape American Provincial, but that doesn't mean I'm ready for French Traditional."
The very best line!
What does that mean exactly
@@A777KFrench traditional means that adultery isn’t really a problem.
This was the first classic ("old" as I used to refer them as) movie I saw as a child and it led me down the rabbit hole of some all-time greats!
Of all the classic movies I watched so far, this is one of the best
This one and to steal a million are my fav!
Honestly, the biggest plottwist was when i found out that this movie wasn´t directed by hitchcock right after watching...
This movie is a real gem. Thanks for sharing
What an astounding opening scene. That’s how you hook an audience.
Best closing line for any movie, EVER.
It's good, but I'll submit some that I think are better.
"What's the matter, Mother? Are you scared?" - The Little Foxes
"Shut up and deal." - The Apartment
"I've got an idea." - The Italian Job
"Love means never having to say you're sorry."
"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard." - What's Up, Doc?
"You still owe me two hundred dollars." - Paper Moon
"As you wish." - The Princess Bride
@@TheWickedWizardOfOz1 / it’s enough that you appreciate fine dialogue and witty retort.
Splendid movie. Very enjoyable to watch even if Audrey is quite theatrical here and there. They re so sweet both of them
What I admire the most about Mrs. Lampert is the way she managed to remain calm even in the most bizarre situation even when in danger, and surrounded by money hungry lunatics... It must take the most of someone to over come this enviroment, on the brighter side she's also accompanied by a great man, with good manners and principle!
