Charade (1963)
Audrey Hepburn is the damsel in distress in this comedy thriller which co-stars Cary Grant. Following the murder of her husband Hepburn is menaced by his partners in crime who want to know what he did with all the money they stole during WW2.
While you will find it very hard to guess what happened to the money everyone is looking for the rest of the plot does play out as you will probably come to expect despite Cary Grant's character having more aliases than you can shake a stick at. Given the film's light hearted tone it is hard to take it too seriously and it does provide decent entertainment for it's two hour run time without feeling like the plot drags. The comedic elements to this film while nothing to write home about do help round out the movie and paper of the cracks of a fairly simple affair.
4/5 a good genre film but not much more than that.
