Favorite Scene (Possible Spoiler)


I love the scene when Reggie goes in to see mr crookshanks, the part when he makes fun of her facial expression cracks me up, did anybody else notice that? i thought it was so funny just wanted to point it out

I really like the bit where he showers with his suit on. All of our family where in bits laughing! 'It's drip dry!' :)

reply

Yep, the showering-while-wearing-his-suit scene has always been my favourite too! Cary Grant gets it just right.

And I love the idea that Reggie is chasing HIM and he's resisting, quite a change from the film norm.

It's also such a stylish film - Paris, Audrey Hepburn...

Laura, it's getting away from us again!

The Shower scene would have to be my favorite as well.....Audrey looks particularly stunning in this scene and Cary Grant is gold as always......Grant and Hepburn are my favorite actor and actress...I'm so glad I'm able to watch this film and see both of them at the same time....

reply

The shower scenes was really funny. I also love the start of the film in the Alpes very clever meeting between her and Grant

reply

My top favorite scenes are the shower scene, the boat scene, and the ending from Audrey walking into his office to the part where she's sitting on his lap talking about their future sons.

Get off of me. I'm the one that makes the first move.

reply

I prefer the scene where Audrey Hepburn goes into her room and cries, Cary Grant rushes in to save her, nearly slams the door in her face and she says "Got you" and giggles. That is absolutely perfect, especially her facial expression when he comes in and she closes the door behind him.

Another very funny scene is when they both search her dad husband's bag for the money and she looks at the comb as if she had been expecting the money to be hid in it and now finds out that is isn't. That look is priceless.

But all in general, it's a very funny and entertaining film, cleverly scripted, beautifully directed and staring two magnificent actors.

reply

I also loved the part where Carey Grant said "How'd you like a spanking"
and then Audrey says " How'd You like a Punch in the Nose!?"

I thought she was adorable when she said it

reply

My favorite scene is at the end when Hepburn is walking into his office. That facial expression Grant gives her...priceless!

reply

Where she is nursing his back.
"But you can lie from any position, can't you.."

reply

The boat scene, when he says he's had a hard time keeping his hands off her and the scene where she's translating and he nibbles her neck.

reply

I love just about every scene that has been mentioned, but one that I did not see mentioned is when they did the orange/apple bit. After I saw that I was like wow, this movie is different from anything I've ever seen before.

I absolutely love "Charade". I can not wait to own it on DVD--it is the first thing on my Christmas list this year.

Haha it isnt funny like all the others, but my favorite part is near the end, where Reggie is hiding in that little nook, and Bartholemow is SLOWLY approaching. I thought that scene was done WONDERFULLY!!! :D It definately built up suspense. Whenever I hear the movie mentioned, I always think of that scene... :)

reply

Didn't anybody else find Charles Lambert's funeral/viewing hysterical?

reply

Absolutely.

The funeral sequence is priceless. I love how the crooks get in one by one, and each one is more outrageous than the last. And the lines between Reggie and her friend are priceless. "If Charlie had died in bed, he [the policeman] wouldn't even be here", "He certainly knew Charlie; he's allergic to him."

It's comedy gold!

This world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel.

reply

I died laughing when Bartholemew calls Reggie and hes doing those squats while talking to her on the phone. It was so perfectly random.

reply

when they are in the elevator, i love the whole once more around the park thing & how do you shave in there & punch in the nose

i also when he like you're probably quiet from hunger you've only eaten 5 times today ahahahaha
