Charade

Stanley Donen (director)
Peter Stone (screenwriter)
Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Walter Matthau, James Coburn (starring)

Paris: Films sans Frontieres, 1963. Vintage reference photograph of actors Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn filming a scene on location on the banks of the Seine for the 1963 film.

The greatest box office success of noted director Stanley Donen's career, owing to an excellent screenplay and what Donen's biographer Stephen M. Silverman refers to as the film's three stars: "Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, and Paris." Though very much influenced by Hitchcock's "North by Northwest," "Charade" is simultaneously lighter and more complex, with an even more entertaining tailspin of deception than its predecessor.

Set and shot on location in Paris.

10 x 8 inches. Near Fine, lightly toned.

Criterion 57. Penzler 101.
