Charade (1963)

I chose Charade for todays Movie of the Day. Charade was directed by Stanley Donen and stars Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn and Walter Matthau. This movie is set in Paris and is a romantic comedy, as well as a thriller. Audrey Hepburns character Regina is the wife of a very wealthy man who dies right away. Then right after his death a group of different man start chasing her around believing she has her husband's $250,000 that is missing. Cary Grant's character throughout the movie is always trying to help Regina stay away from the men chasing her but she is unsure of his real identity. She soon learn the real identities of all the men and becomes very confused. This romantic comedy/thriller will having on the edge of your seat to the very end wondering what is going to happen. The movie currently has a rating of 91% on Rotten Tomatoes and was nominated for one award which it sadly did not win. I hope you enjoy movie.
