The only film Alfred Hitchcock would like to have directed himself (but didn't)! Master's every basic element and obsession is here: characters are not what they appear to be, and the more A.Hepburne falls in love with C.Grant, the more suspitious she becomes: lust and suspence are escalating simultaneously! Plot, suspense, performances (all of them!), rythm & cinematography, humour & dialogues, Manchini's music & Binder's credits -in one word: a masterpiece!

I couldn't agree more: There are, however, lamentably, several skips or glitches in this upload. Tsk tsk! This was, however, Donen's *de facto* *homage* to Hitchcock. The same can be said, btw, of the late great Sydney Pollack's 1975 **Three Days of the Condor**. These are among the most "Hitchcockian" movies that Hitchcock himself didn't direct (another example would be Brian De Palma's early work, especially *Obsession*).

Although many directors were influenced by Hitch (or even obsessed with his work! - like early DePalma), "Charade" is one of the few cases where the "influance" resulted in something comperable to A.H.'s work. In most cases (even in frame-by-frame copycats), results vary from indifferent to lousy...

Yet again I concur completely: There r only 3 gem-films that r obviously, & deliciously, "Hitch-ian" that r, at least more-or-less, worthy of him, & that he himself would've no-doubt enjoyed directing (but whose actual directors did a superb job w/o merely "aping" Hitch): Donen's *Charade*, Pollack's *Condor*, and last but not least Jonathan Demme's underappreciated *Last Embrace*, with the lamentably late Roy Scheider & Janet Margolin. The latter even has a Miklos Rosza score!!

And, Jimmy, I also want to thank you, as also myself a Maurice Binder (&, of course, also Saul Bass) fan, for mentioning Binder's work here. Bass and Binder more-or-less by themselves, re-invented how opening-title-sequences could "work" in and for a movie. Their resepctive work in the mid-'50's to late '60's (and beyond) set the standard(s) for creative, innovative "Opening Titles"...Bravo to them both! R.I.P.

Film noir is a type of movie, not about the color. ;-)
