Review of Charade (1963) by Kathy F — 03 Mar 2016
One of the greatest openings of any movie - a dead body even before titles backed by magnificent Mancini music.
Sophisticated humour, score, stars.
Grant and Hepburn perfect in their roles even though Grant (self-consciously) plays his older lover role for laughs. Watch out for his pass-the-orange and clothed-shower routines!
Despite its deceptions, plot is probably a little thin for today's audience.
Kudos for any thriller that mixes humour and adventure so well (as the best of James Bond does).
