CHARADE

Charade (1963) is a classic cat-and-mouse, "Hitchcockian" romantic comedy and enigmatic thriller all in one, from director Stanley Donen - known more for his musicals such as On the Town (1949), Singin' in the Rain (1952), It's Always Fair Weather (1955), and The Pajama Game (1957). The plot twisting, witty, and suspenseful film (similar to Hitchcock's The 39 Steps (1935), To Catch a Thief (1955), North by Northwest (1959), and the entries in the James Bond series), shot on sets and on-location in Paris, is a sophisticated, yet off-balanced combination of thrills and comedy from screenwriter Peter Stone's first film screenplay.

This mystery-romance is a tale about the search for missing and stolen gold treasure worth $250,000 by five survivors of WWII who were in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) together, and are now threatening the newly-widowed and estranged wife of one of the accomplices.
