people thinking that every pre 1970 film is obscure and pretentious... like GROW UP

“One of the most dazzling and inventive books I’ve read in a very long time—a novel I continue to describe as indescribable. I’ve now read it twice and can’t decide if it’s a thriller, a farce, a political commentary. I don’t know what it is other than I love it” —Writers at Work

it’s incredible bc charade is truly one of the least pretentious films i’ve ever seen. it’s so self aware and comedic. people just hate old hollywood, my tan, leather husband, and audrey hepburn wearing givenchy i fear

it's literally a delightful spy comedy there's nothing pretentious about it 😭

Pretentious? Huh? It's Stanley Donen doing Stanely Donen imitating Hitchcock at his most lighthearted. WTH is pretentious about it? It pokes fun at Cary Grant's leading man at several points - the very beginning, when he gets humiliated by a child (shooting water in his face) and then when he takes the shower with his suit on. Also, the climax doesn't rely on any action-type leading-man athletic prowess. He simply has to pull the right lever at the right time to drop Walter Matthau's villain to the floor from the trap stagedoor and defeat the antagonist. The 3 villains are comic figures. The whole thing is delivered with its tongue firmly planted in its cheek. It is a terrific film with terrific performances, direction, editing, costumes, color, and panache.

watched on Thursday, the charm-o-meter is off the fucking charts lmao, so much good humour in that movie

Wait her vibe here is very similar to ayo’s

But it’s the glossiest of entertainments. A terrific film all about Paris locations, glamorous clothes and zesty quips. It’s not like Bergman

I was nine years old the summer I first saw Charade, and it's been one of my favorite films ever since 😍

It's silly fun froth. If it were realeased today it would easily cross the $60M mark, if not more. Online youngs are insufferable and the next generation will tear them to shreds.

I Love Charade, Love Audrey and Cary together! It is a fun thriller and so hilarious!
