This movie is sometimes referred to as "Hitchcock Lite," a distinction that I think is complete bullshit. That is really unfair and dismissive to a movie that I think can stand up with the best of Hitchcock's work and even higher in some cases. The only reason some look at it as sub-Hitchcock is because it's funnier than any Hitchcock and that unbelievably makes people think less of it. This movie is for real hilarious. But the mystery and the suspense and the action is top notch. No, not "but." And. AND the mystery and the suspense and the action is top notch in addition to the laughs. Plus just LOOK at this cast. It is STACKED! The first 5 on that list down there are FAVES of mine. And Audrey Hepburn has never been more charming and cute and funny. This is my favorite film of hers and close to my favorite Cary Grant.

Who is the most perfect person in the world and why is it Audrey Hepburn? Tbh, the film is a solid 4/5, but my infatuation with Ms Hepburn bumps it up a notch for me.

Can’t believe they made the movie in Pretty Woman into a real film.

"Of course, you won't be able to lie on your back for a while but then you can lie from any position, can't you?" This film is such a delight! Cary Grant is his usual charming self, Audrey Hepburn is amazing, always love having Walter Matthau on my screen and I always love a whodunnit movie. Charade really feels like a the best Hitchcock movie not made by Hitchcock and one that is set in the lovely streets of Paris and filmed on location. I really enjoyed it and I really like the way they tried to trick us. And the humor, the humor is fun too. Clever lines, funny gags. I do realize I have seen almost nothing staring Audrey Hepburn and that has to change soon. She's the star despite Cary Grant being there. Anyway check this one out if you have the time! You won't regret it.

Feels like Hitchcock going camp. It leads to some great moments of comedy, and the movie's pretty good at playing with your expectations. For example, you instantly know that Cary Grant is playing a suspicious person here, so the movie doesn't drag that reveal out until the third act. It kept surpri More

**Style, class, elegance, an intriguing mystery and a pleasant game of lies and half-truths in a film that deserves to be considered a great classic.**

Some say this movie is the best Hitchcock movie that Hitchcock never made, and it's true. The iconic director didn't make this film, he wasn't ev More

Audrey Hepburn's acting is simply lovely and her clothes gorgeous. I loved the way old movies were made, simple, slow passed, no running around or blowing entire buildings, just the old way of telling stories. This way I got to meet all characters, like them, laugh at them and be happy with their en More
