Audrey fingers Cary's dimpled chin and asks, "How do you shave in there?", 29 April 2001
10/10
Author: moonspinner55 from redlands, ca

Just one of the many marvelous moments in "Charade", one of Cary Grant's and Audrey Hepburn's best films. There's a quarter of a million dollars floating around instant-widow Hepburn but nobody can SEE IT (it's right in front of their eyes). Filled with running jokes, colorful and eccentric oddities (such as trenchcoat-wearing George Kennedy with his hook and the little guy who won't stop sneezing), funny set-pieces (like the funeral scene, and Audrey's priceless exaggerated reactions) and suspenseful sequences, not to mention Audrey and Cary looking smashing together. This is one of 20 best films ever made, as good as "Casablanca" and "My Fair Lady". In fact, I think it's better.
