I had just been drafted into the US Army. It is one of the greatest films I ever saw. Mancini was about a third of why. All through it, he used many different notes suggesting feelings of actors. I saw Charade as a surprise when I got there to watch a different movie. Direction was so Hitchcock like.
Folks were talking about this movie in comments on another movie with Audrey a while back. Couldn’t find it to watch for free at the time. And viola! Thanks much!
She was born in 1929 & studying ballet when uncle was killed by Nazis, her retirement work with UNESCO was inspired by her wartime experience, she convinced Roger Moore & others to volunteer.
Ya, ya, dat vas a gooot vun, you betcha 🇳🇴 🇺🇸! Vive la France 🇫🇷 🎶. I was 5 years old when this came out. It's about time I saw it. Now I gotta see it with my bride from 1986 and 2020, Alison ❤. Another mystery! Ya ya, you betcha! 😅🎉 But no charade!
@riccicrozzie8204 Ja ja. That's a goot joke! Heard my grandparents speaking to my immigrated mom but they never taught me, let alone the spelling! Maybe one day....probably not till heaven, where they all are now. I'm next in line.
Dec 2024 and I’m watching Thai for the first time. This whole time I thought it was a Hitchcock directed flick. I was so wrong. All the actors look so young.
One of Hollywood’s biggest stuff-ups. “Charade” found itself in a unique predicament due to an oversight in its initial release-the omission of a copyright notice, which at the time meant that the movie was not protected by copyright at all (Wikipedia). This unintentionally liberated the film, allowing it to enter the public domain in the United States.
@JoycePhillips-q8w sonny Bono quit rock scene and became a Republican politician from California. Said rock music was getting too political and not so family friendly. Cary Grant quit movies because he thought Charade too violent (murders etc) and did not like Hollywood getting too violent and controversial for his tastes.
Charade was not Cary Grant's last film. It was his third to last film. You might mean it was his last starring role, which it was, but that isn't the same thing. His reasons for retiring were also quite complex, including a realisation that his persona no longer fitted his age, his disenchantment with filmmaking as a process, and the birth of his daughter.
Pretty decent film, though I hate Hepburn's character. The character is a real bubblebrain. Her childish eagerness to be married again is such an awful stereotype--many women have come to see marriage as entrapment, a control society pushes on them rather than something fulfilling to women's lives. The director and writer commentary on the Internet Archive is a trip to listen to. The story was retitled "The Unsuspecting Wife" in a magazine. Audrey Hepburn looks waif like thin but she's actually a 5' 7" giant. Cary Grant felt it was unseemly for a 60 year old to pursue a 30 year old, so he insisted his character be restrained so he had to be the one pursued. The film was considered very bloody for its time and there were two screenings, one with bodies and one without. The director and writer wrote fake audience comments for both, praising the bloody scenes or complaining the film was too tame. They stopped filming early one day because of the Cuban Missile Crisis. JFK was assassinated shortly before the film opened, so they dubbed 'eliminated' over 'assassinated'. The copy they were commenting over had the dub removed and the director was sore about the revision of his last minute alteration. Fascinating behind the scenes history there.
I find difficult to watch Cary Grant's character constantly disrespecting Audrey Hepburn's and trivializing her feelings and her intelligence, as if she was just a cute sub-human. It is very sexist. Because of that, and because he just appear out of the blue to stick with her like a leech, their collaboration and romance are very hard to believe.
This film is now 60 years old and you must recognise that culture and values of the day were different, whether you like it or not. Also, remember that it's just a film, not a documentary!
Entire plot is contrived, Hepburn married to international criminal she knows nothing about & pursued by gang of cutthroats & undercover Federal agent? Grant repeatedly refused to work with her due to age difference, so why not sit back & enjoy the ride? Hepburn is playing young widow in peril, not Mata Hari.
One of my favourite films of all time. Thanks for uploading.
The best Hitchcock movie not made by him. Thank you Stanley Donnen.
Oh, I thought it was “The Third Man”.
@@msadurskiHitchcock didn't even film Torn Curtain on location, he only returned to Europe after decades in California to film Frenzy in London.
@@unowen-nh9ov are you talking to me?
A classic, thank you!

Classy movie with 2 of the classiest movie stars of all time.
Paris plays an excellent supporting role!

Cello! Been public domain for years, in reruns on television & available elsewhere here.
Voila too.
I am old enough to remember those OLD RED METRO cars ! OH LA LA
Wow, einer der besten Filme aller Zeiten. One of the best movies ever.
Audrey and Cary had an amazing chemistry together! wow!
Masterpiece
Audrey was part of the Dutch Resistance. She was acting to save lives during Nazi occupation. What a gal 🤗😘❤️
Lol, netherlands is a sh*thole now, thanks to that.
She was born in 1929 & studying ballet when uncle was killed by Nazis, her retirement work with UNESCO was inspired by her wartime experience, she convinced Roger Moore & others to volunteer.
Long live the resistance
Audrey was intoxicatingly beautiful. What a stunning smile.
Absolute classic
Thank you. 👍
Would be nice to have an HD version to watch...
The greatest tribute to Stanley Donen would be... Hitchcock couldn't have made it better 🎉
He did repeatedly, Notorious & North By Northwest.
absolutelly best !
Great Movie, great Soundtrack by Henry Mancini and a great Title Sequence by Maurice Binder!!!
most beautiful woman of all time
There isn't much I could add to that. The classiest female of all times and also by far the best dialogues and banter between the two of them.

Прекрасный фильм, который можно пересматривать много раз!
I've seen it several times on local TV, it is a great adventure,

Train at the beginning without head- nor tail-lights on. Ridiculous.
Corpse being disposed of fine & dandy.
Really always liked this film, but here adverts every 10 mins. spoiled it.
I have seen it so many times on TV that I don´t want to watch it anymore.
Cary Grant's last movie. Can anyone guess why? Clue: Sonny Bono gave up the rock music scene for a similar reason.
I don't get it?????

@huwclayton7595 my mistake. It was hearsay only. I should have done more research.
Grant had no problem working with murder & mayhem for Hitchcock in their classic North By Northwest.

Think so too. The whole thing is rather contrived, too whimsical, relying on sheer star power.
An archibald leech, if you will.

I had to turn it off 20 minutes into it after realizing the humor wasn't going to get any better.
Black and White would be better.
60's movies really over did it with that Stupid music 🤢🤮👎
