That's it, RJ. I haven't seen Charade in a dozen years, I should revisit it. It's much darker visually than I remember it being. I think its poster warps its memory towards the bright and bubbly palette when it's actually very brown and gray (until Audrey steps into the frame in her red coat and white hat).
This movie is the ONLY time I've ever been able to stomach Walter Matthau! There are so many sequences in this movie I love. The funeral most of all! You definitely should watch it again Nate!
Charade! Love that movie.

ReplyDeleteI love the way Walter Matthau growls/drawls her name towards the end: "Mrs. LaaahhhM-pert!"
ReplyDeleteI finally knew one! Charade!!
ReplyDeleteThe stamp was the dead giveaway!
