The simple minded decadence of what passes for love stories in today's movies has all the beauty of dancing pigs. Antidote: the barge scene in Charade. The night sparkles, Grant and Hepburn glow, the conversation is witty and seductive. Good training... Full review

That slight misstep aside, Charade fully deserves its stellar reputation.
A winning dark comedy and mystery, Charade fares well across the board.
The monaural soundtrack of Charade seemed decidedly ordinary.

Charade [Special Edition, Criterion Voyager]
Charade" isnt successful when it comes to drawing you into its world.
To be sure, the plot is as slight and inconsequential as ever, and if you think about it, nothing in the movie is at all realistic.

its menace is muted....The movie is a perfect boxoffice machine for its time, balancing Audrey Hepburn charm against a witty script and sumptous production values.....It's surely a special case, being so high-profile a film, but with so many other PD films allowed to languish.... ... Full Review

Charade is also a taut romantic thriller enlivened by exquisite sets and mesmerizing performances from Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant as the young widow in jeopardy and her love interest who may or may not be what he seems, respectively.
So do yourself a favor; skip the pallid remake that Hollywood is foisting upon an unsuspecting public this weekend, take a trip down to your local rental establishment and check out a - preferably letterboxed - copy of Charade.

Charade is a peculiar film because it represents the absolute best of Hollywood filmmaking without actually contributing anything to the history of cinema.
And, on top of everything else, it's also a amiable romantic comedy.
