Charade

Experience the greatest films from Hollywood’s Golden Age back on the big screen, every week at The Loft Cinema!

In this elegantly entertaining comedic thriller, a trio of crooks relentlessly pursue a young American, played by Audrey Hepburn in gorgeous Givenchy, through Paris in an attempt to recover the fortune her dead husband stole from them. The only person she can trust is Cary Grant’s suave, mysterious stranger.  Cue the exotic locations, witty banter, and endlessly electric star chemistry. Director Stanley Donen (Singin’ in the Rain) goes deliciously dark for Charade, a glittering emblem of sixties style and macabre wit. Co-starring Walter Matthau, James Coburn, and George Kennedy, this was famously (and rightly) praised as “the best Hitchcock movie Hitchcock never made.” (Dir. by Stanley Donen, 1963, USA, 113 mins., Not Rated)
