Viewing Notes
I can’t believe I’d never watched this movie as a kid, given that my mom and I spent countless hours watching Hitchcock and other classic movies.
Charade is simply brilliant. The comedic reparte between Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn is pure gold, and a delight to watch. These two great actors obviously worked well together, and the results are fun from the very beginning.
It’s also fun to see familiar faces in the supporting actor roles, including Walter Matthau, James Coburn and George Kennedy, all eventually great stars in their own right.
