Amazon.com essential video:
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. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - Who Dunit?
There are few films I don't find fault with at all. This is one. It falls in a lot of genres: comedy, thriller, crime film, romance, and all of these genres are presented with a little bit of irony. It's a film for everybody. For example, this film offers many opportunities to guess who the bad guy is, if you like or watch out for all the blind motives. A very feminine Audrey Hepburn and her overtures to Cary Grant present intelligent but romantic humour. But also cineasts (like me) are able to enjoy ... Read More
Rating: - Passes the Bored Teenager Litmus test!!
To my mind one of the canniest tests available to determine the entertainment value of an older movie is the jaded-teenager respons-o-meter. You know what I mean. You know the TCM (we're scraping the bottom of the barrel here) expressions on their faces when you announce another classic from the prehistoric times before Spielberg and Lucas. So, if you AND your seen-it-all, special-effect-fed-up brood of darlings spontaneously break out in applause at the end of such a film, its got to be a winner! And ... Read More
Rating:  - Great Movie, Lousy DVD
This is the version I unfortunately bought a few years ago - it's the Delta version with the big picture of Cary Grant on the cover, pictured here. Not only is it grainy, it's jumpy (a jumpy DVD?!?) and not only is it jumpy, but every so often the Delta logo appears on the bottom right hand of the screen, as though you were watching a movie on television. Now that I know of the other versions, I purchased one highly recommended on Amazon's site and am looking forward to a better movie experience. "Charade" ... Read More
Rating: - BEST CHARADE
As usual, this Criterion edition of the public domain flick "CHARADE" is the best to date.
