Charade came out in 1963 and received mostly positive reviews. Some of the reviews were negative,
criticizing the movies violence. I agree that it was pretty violent for 1963 but, of course, thats
nothing compared to what they show on screen today. (I just saw Mad Mad: Fury Road in theaters
yesterday)
Remember when I said Cary Grant turned down Roman Holiday because he thought he was too old to
play Audrey Hepburns love interest? Well, ten years later, he did it anyway! And lets all be so happy
he did. Even though he still felt uncomfortable about the age difference, writers added lines to the
script where his character comments on his age and Audrey Hepburns character becomes the
pursuer.

So far, I would rank this movie as my second favorite Golden Age movie Ive watched. It probably
helps that it stars two of my new favorite people. And Charade is definitely my favorite Cary Grant
movie of the three I have seen. He would only make two more movies after this one.
Since the Golden Age of Hollywood ended roughly around 1963, Charade just made the cut off,
making this the most recent movie Ive watched. Through the years of movies Ive watched from the
Golden Age, I have seen the writing get better and better. The story lines have become more
complex, especially in Charade. There is so many layers and constant twists and turns. Every time
you think you might know whats going on, you dont. My roommate and I had so much fun watching
this movie, trying to figure out what was going on, who was who, who did it. It was awesome.

As always, Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn come highly recommended. Charade is a great look at
how the world of cinema began changing right at the end of the Golden Age. It has wonderful
suspense and comedy and really makes you think. I would definitely add this movie to your list!
