CHARADE (1963)
Co-Star: Audrey Hepburn
Director: Stanley Donen
|
|
Though not his final film, Charade allows Grant to bow out gracefully as a romantic leading man. Co-starring with Audrey Hepburn, he was wise enough to have the script altered so that Hepburn, several decades younger, pursues him rather than the other way around.
