#57 - Charade


Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, and Paris - what else could one ask for? 

Here's a 1963 comedic spy thriller set in you know where with Audrey as the Lead - never heard of this one but it has a lot of the big name American actors of the day - Matthau, Kennedy, Coburn

It was a pretty good film - as Bruce Eder's essay pointed out, it was a time of macho spy thrillers, but this is the only successful one to center on a woman who is trying to figure out who killed her husband and the where/why of the finances

I always enjoy seeing color Paris of the 1960's - if I could time travel it would probably be Paris and Vegas of the 50's and 60's - a different time and world we'll never get back

some extras are included - this one isn't on filmstruck though it is still in print - so head off to the Netflix or Barnes and Nobles if you want it
