Customer Rating:      Summary: Who Dunit? Comment: There are few films I don't find fault with at all. This is one. It falls in a lot of genres: comedy, thriller, crime film, romance, and all of these genres are presented with a little bit of irony. It's a film for everybody. For example, this film offers many opportunities to guess who the bad guy is, if you like or watch out for all the blind motives. A very feminine Audrey Hepburn and her overtures to Cary Grant present intelligent but romantic humour. But also cineasts (like me) are able to enjoy this movie: The camera catches some beautiful pictures, and the sound supports them. Watch this movie. Even on television it's great fun.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Passes the Bored Teenager Litmus test!! Comment: To my mind one of the canniest tests available to determine the entertainment value of an older movie is the jaded-teenager respons-o-meter. You know what I mean. You know the TCM (we're scraping the bottom of the barrel here) expressions on their faces when you announce another classic from the prehistoric times before Spielberg and Lucas. So, if you AND your seen-it-all, special-effect-fed-up brood of darlings spontaneously break out in applause at the end of such a film, its got to be a winner! And that is precisely what happened at the end of our family-viewing of Charade. They loved it.
Throw into the mix the fact that the thinking part our ensemble (we parents, naturally) found more than enough in it to keep us amused, bemused and charmed (out of our socks) (and more or less in that order), and you get the picture.
Hepburn and Grant are at their slickest best here, unobtrusive, and subservient to the flow of the plot, which is the real star of the movie, as it unravels (and re-ravels) time and again.
At one stage the bewildered, suspicious-yet-entranced Hepburn says accusingly to Grant, "Do you know what's wrong with you?" He pauses, waits for the insult which he knows he deserves (sort of). She tries to muster all the malice she can, looks him in the eye, succumbs instantly to the his charm, and whispers, " Nothing. Absolutely nothing."
Which just about says it all for this gem. Get it. It will lift whatever gloom you're in. And in the process provide some bonding for the generational divide, if required!

Customer Rating:      Summary: Great Movie, Lousy DVD Comment: This is the version I unfortunately bought a few years ago - it's the Delta version with the big picture of Cary Grant on the cover, pictured here. Not only is it grainy, it's jumpy (a jumpy DVD?!?) and not only is it jumpy, but every so often the Delta logo appears on the bottom right hand of the screen, as though you were watching a movie on television. Now that I know of the other versions, I purchased one highly recommended on Amazon's site and am looking forward to a better movie experience. "Charade" deserves it - it's the coolest!
Customer Rating:      Summary: BEST CHARADE Comment: As usual, this Criterion edition of the public domain flick "CHARADE" is the best to date.
