Director: Stanley Donen Writers: Peter Stone; Marc Behm Music: Henry Mancini Producer: Stanley Donen Keywords: Romantic Comedy, Thriller, Treasure Hunt United Nations translator Reggie Lambert decides to divorce her husband Charles, but on her arrival in Paris she finds him murdered, and further, he wasn't who she thought he was.

CAST REVIEWS Review by Royal J Fuchs (posted on 1-Jan-2008) Among the top 5 movies that I truly cherish. It has humor, charm, captivating dialog, and suspense. It is well paced and leaves viewers with a most satisfying experience. Henry Mancini's music also contributes significantly to making this film so memorable. "Charade" belongs in everyone's home film library. The recent remake, "The Trouble with Charlie" lacks the attributes of "Charade" noted above with perhaps the exception of suspense. However, to my mind it is worthy of only Two and one half stars.
