Set in the magical city of Paris, Hepburn is then called into questioning by a CIA Agent who tells her that her husband had a quarter of a million dollars stolen during the World War 2 from the American Government and that she must find the money to give it back to her country. Now, three of her husbands' comrades claim the money to themselves and think Hepburn knows where it is and threaten this faboulous widow to kill her if she doesn't tell them where the money is.
is but in which he trusts completely after he promises to help her.
The movie, full of plot twists keeps you glued to the screen, is one of those movies that keeps you with your eyes opened, wanting to know what is about to happen and it manages to surprise you to the very last minute.

Technicolor movies have that kind of magic, Charade is that kind of ideal movie, great argument, great cast (Did I mention Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn?), such an amazing and romantic love story that, in my opinion, everyone wishes to have one day.
But despites all of that it gives you a lesson about lies and truth, about true love (even if it's not the first one or even it is a bit unconventional)
Nothing is what it seems and this movie is the exact definition of this saying.
I totally recommend this movie, even though if you aren't a great fan of classic movies, this is a MUST in everyone's life.
If you don't have plans for this weekend, get your hands on this perfect movie, I promise as Peter Joshua did to Reggie that you won't regret it.
Reggie Lampert: Why do people have to tell lies?
Peter Joshua: Usually its because they want something. They are afraid the truth wont get it for them.

Charade (1963) was directed by Stanley Donen.
