) I purchased a copy since I own National Film Museum Inc, and we hold a License for said picture. I needed an extra copy fast, so I bought it on line. MADACY is NFM's DVD licensee. As our contract is all rights, world wide in perpetuity, no one besides Universal, Criterion, and NFM are authorized Licensors/licenees. Ebay seems to have all the infringers, which we intend to clean up on Charade, Gary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, considered by AFI as one of the best films ever (top150 film listings) it's the greatest Hitchcock film HE NEVER MADE, in IB technicolor(letterbox).

Charade Has Audrey, Cary, and A Wonderful Song & PlotReview created: 04/16/07(updated 09/02/08)

What's not to like about this movie?
We have a mysterious murder of Regina Lampert's husband while she is estranged from him and on vacation in Switzerland. We learn that he was mixed up with some thieves during WW2 who stole a lot of money, and the other thieves threw him from a train.
Enter Cary Grant as Peter Joshua, supposedly a detective from the American Embassy, who is going to protect Regina (Audrey) from the other thieves who are still trying to find the treasure. But where is the money? That is part of the charade.
We see the other thieves one by one get murdered too. (You will recognize George Kennedy as Herman Scobie--one of the theives.) Finally, there is only a mysterious thief who keeps telephoning Regina. The second thief could be Peter Joshua , who thus could be good or evil. Poor Regina, she goes through the movie wondering which. The climax of the story sees her running feverishly through a carnival seeking the treasure once it has been figured out and then running again between Peter and Hamilton Bartholomew (Walter Matthau), who could be good or bad. They end up in a theatre with the real thief and murderer falling through the stage door. But is he really the murdering thief?
In between all of this, we have the wonderful theme song Charade composed by Henry Mancini and the beautiful Audrey Hepburn who is always a class act.
This is a movie that you want to see over and over again. As the years go by, you forget the details but always remember the two stars and the theme song. WOW, what a movie!
