Plot Summary:
|
Audrey Hepburn plays a Parisienne whose husband is murdered and who finds she is being followed alongside four men seeking the fortune her late spouse had hidden away. Cary Allocate is the stranger who comes to her aid but his trustworthy motives aren't entirely clear--could he even be the murderer? The 1963 screen is directed close Stanley Donen but it has been called "Hitchcockian" on account of careful reason: the reachable duplicities between lovers, the unspoken agendas between a man and woman sharing secrets. Absurdity is nowhere as significant as a Hitchcock integument but suspense-wise... it holds its own; and Donen's glossy production lends itself to the gratifying experience of stargazing. One wants Cary Grant to be Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn to be no one but Audrey Hepburn in a Hollywood product such as this, and they certainly don't let us down.--Tom Keogh
