CHARADE has always been a favorite of mine, for the Mancini score and the great cast - Hepburn, Grant and future Oscar winners Walter Matthau, George Kennedy and James Coburn. Oh yes, and Paris.

Love it. Compare her rapport with Grant in this to hers with Peppard in Breakfast.
Audrey Hepburn graced just about every film she was in.
Great fun - but no definite article, surely? Mind you, the remake was pretty lousy, so what the hell!
Was either Cary Grant or Audrey Hepburn ever in a film that wasn't first-rate?
I'm sure there were a few clinkers here and there, but my memories of _Charade_ obscure the possibility of remembering any bad films.
Well, there was that Napoleonic fiasco with Grant and Loren; and wasn't Hepburn in My Fair Lady?
Okay, those are two that ought to be forgotten.
Good, but I liked Arabesque better, up to and including the theme.
I barely remember ARABESQUE: Sophia Loren, Gregory Peck? Must check it out.
Yes, they chose well, didn't they?
My wife adores this movie.
