CHARADE (1963) Set in contemporary Paris, Regina is intent on divorcing her husband after her return from vacation in Switzerland. Still, the last think Regina expects is for him to wind up dead: murdered nonetheless. Informed by CIA agent Hamilton Bartholomew that her husband was one of several convicts suspected of stealing money from the U.S. government during WWII, and coincidentally the government wants it back, Regina comes up empty handed both in cash and testimony. Likewise her husband's former "partners in crime" start to show up and showing interest in Regina, and likely her money, which begins to compromise Regina's safety: its one great big charade with Charles' former accomplice Peter at the helm of the "treasure hunt." The cast includes: Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Walter Matthau, James Coburn, George Kennedy, Dominique Minot, Ned Glass, Jacques Marin, Paul Bonifas, and Thomas Chelimsky. Directed by Stanley Donen.
