Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIt was agreed Cary Grant would keep all of his clothes on when he took a shower, as he was nearly sixty and slightly overweight. However, they then decided the scene was funnier that way.
- GoofsThe rare stamps are said to be valued at $250,000, but wouldn't that have only been in their condition prior to being affixed (glued) to a modern envelope? One could surmise their value was reduced due to their altered state.
- Quotes
Reggie Lampert: You're blocking my view.
Peter Joshua: Oh, uh, oh, uh, which view would you prefer?
Reggie Lampert: The one you're blocking.
- Crazy creditsDuring the last scene, the screen splits into a checkerboard screens showing Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn's ending kiss along with Grant's funniest scenes from the movie and "The End".
- Alternate versionsSome prints of the film omit the original music as it is not public domain, unlike the movie itself.

Featured review
Just one of the many marvelous moments in "Charade", one of Cary Grant's and Audrey Hepburn's best films. There's a quarter of a million dollars floating around instant-widow Hepburn but nobody can SEE IT (it's right in front of their eyes). Filled with running jokes, colorful and eccentric oddities (such as trenchcoat-wearing George Kennedy with his hook and the little guy who won't stop sneezing), funny set-pieces (like the funeral scene, and Audrey's priceless exaggerated reactions) and suspenseful sequences, not to mention Audrey and Cary looking smashing together. This is one of 50 best films ever made, as good as "Casablanca" and "My Fair Lady". In fact, I think it's better.
