Things I noticed for the first time

Watching the film yesterday, I just noticed things that relate to other Grant/Hepburn movies:

Grant - Taking a shower in a woman's hotel room and hanging by just his hands were also featured in North by Northwest.

Hepburn - I also like the "on the street where you live" reference to the song by that title from My Fair Lady.

Don't know how these things could have gone over my head on previous viewings.

Anything else that I missed?

Grant - Taking a shower in a woman's hotel room

I was thinking about that yesterday, as well, when I watched Charade. Good catch on the other ones!

There was also something Hepburn pronounced which reminded me of the way she said something in Breakfast at Tiffany's when "Holly" was drunk, lol. Then it made me think about how Grant seemed to incorporate things from his other films into the current ones he was working on, so I wondered if Hepburn was doing the same thing in Charade 

Mag, Darling, you're being a bore.

Hepburn- is also featured in a film, Wait Until Dark, where she is harrassed by 3 men, who think she has treasure they want.

Grant- leaps from balcony to balcony, as he did in North By Northwest. Is suspected of murder, as he was in Suspicion.

Really interesting in that My Fair Lady came out in 1964
