Charade

Charade (1963) starring Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Walter Matthau, James Coburn, George Kennedy. Grant and Hepburn meet, as if by chance, while on holiday in the Alps. When Hepburn returns to Paris, she learns that her husband has been murdered, and that he had stolen $250,000 in gold. Grant arrives in Paris soon afterward and comes to her aid -- or so it seems. Is he a friend, or is he just another thief trying to get his hands on the money? It's practically the very last scene in the movie when we (and Hepburn's character) find out. Truly, this is an excellent movie, mixing suspense, romance and comedy and thoroughly entertaining the audience. (English subtitles for the hearing-impaired are available, but can only be accessed by using the Subtitle key on the remote control.) Grade: A
