Review of Charade (1963) by Sabrina I — 03 Dec 2010
"Charade" is the kind of film you can watch a million times and still enjoy. It's a perfect blend of style, comedy, thrills and romance. It helps a lot that you have Hepburn and Grant as your main leads, can't go wrong with that. They both are as charming as ever. My favorite aspect of the film are the dialogues...the film is endlessly quotable. I think I can pretty much recite every line from the film, I guess I just have seen it so many times over the years! I also liked the twists and turns and especially how Grant's character kept changing his name LOL, it was quite amusing. Charade is also a great film to introduce to someone new to classic films, they will get instantly hooked ;) A lot of films try to do what Charade does so well but they fail to capture that fun 60's style and atmosphere. Charade is just one of a kind, I really think it's a must see.
