I tell you, this light-hearted picture is full of such gruesome violence.

New York Times
Rating: 3/5 --
It's glossy, charming, silly, and far too self-aware to be at all thrilling.

Empire Magazine
[E]njoy Peter Stone's witty, suspenseful script and the zippy Grant/Hepburn banter.
Uncut
The film has the laughter and excitement of Hitchcock, without the sadism.

Maclean's Magazine
Rating: 4/5 --
A novel, auteur-driven film populated with reliably charismatic stars; even at the age of 50 it leaves most modern produce in the dust. It was also a hit. Five decades later, why has Hollywood not learnt their lesson?

It's sophisticated, tasty, and a bit bizarre....The thrills are consistent...
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 5/5 --
Charade is able to successfully transcend the romance, comedy, and suspense thriller genres because of the cast, screenplay, and score.

Product Description:
Lovely Reggie (Audrey Hepburn) is determined to divorce her wealthy, cold, and closed-mouthed husband, but someone throws him from a train before she gets the chance. Left penniless in Paris with police suspicion resting heavily upon her, Reggie soon realizes she's in serious trouble--her husband stole money from three unscrupulous men, and they want the money back. Charming and amusing Cary Grant, recalling his screwball comedy days while still remaining manly, comes to Reggie's aid. But he too has secrets and hidden loyalties. With the bodies piling up and the money nowhere to be found, Grant and Hepburn dash through Paris toward the startling solution.
Agatha Christie-like in its unexpected twists and colorful characters and shimmering with fun and passion, CHARADE is a suspense gem that deserves to be much better known than it is. The supporting cast, led by Walter Matthau, James Coburn, and George Kennedy, is terrific, the interaction between Hepburn and Grant is an absolute joy, and Stanley Donen's playful direction all combine to make this film a small classic.
