Charade

Donen channels Hitchcock and Wilder in this deft blend of mystery, thriller and romance with Grant, Matthau, and others pursuing Hepburn, believing she knows the location of a fortune her recently deceased husband stole during World War II.

Grant and Hepburn are great together (making you wish all the more that Grant hadn’t turned down Billy Wilder’s Love in the Afternoon thinking himself too old to play opposite Hepburn) and the supporting cast, including James Coburn and George Kennedy is top notch. Sure, the Jean-Louis kid is poorly written, but that’s a very minor blemish.
