Charade
Directed by: Stanley Donen
Starring: Audrey Hepburn, Cary Grant, James Coburn
Grade: C+
A relatively dated Hitchcockian flick, about a widow and a man who may or may not be a flim flam man (favorite synopsis I've ever read). Filled with real thrills, great suspense, and an illogical amount of humor, you can see the trappings of a genre that grew over the decades to come in films like Argo. However, it's no surprise when you know the guy playing the attractive lead can't be the bad guy. That surprise hadn't been invented yet.
