Summary

Romantic comedy thriller starring Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn and Walter Matthau. The body of a man hurtles from the carriage of a train speeding across the French countryside, and for Regina Lampert life becomes bewildering. It also becomes sinister when she returns to Paris to find her flat stripped bare. Who is telling the truth, and whom can she trust?

Review

A star rating of 5 out of 5.

Tony Sloman

This absolutely wonderful comedy thriller from Stanley Donen (co-director, with Gene Kelly, of On the Town and Singin' in the Rain) nearly out-Hitchcocks Hitchcock. With a twist so clever you'll never guess, and a dream pairing of Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn on ravishing Parisian locations, what more could you possibly want in the way of movie entertainment? There's a clever plot (by Peter Stone) that never lets up, a marvellous romantic score (by Henry Mancini), star-making turns from Walter Matthau and James Coburn, and some magnificent set pieces: Grant taking a shower fully-clothed; Hepburn and Grant falling in love on a Paris river boat; and a fight with a one-handed villain in a roof-top cliffhanger. This terrific movie's got the lot.
