Storyline:
In what's been called 'the best Alfred Hitchcock film which he didn't direct,' a man is thrown off a train, and when the police locate his wife, it turns out she knew nothing about him - not even his real name. After her are four men, who insist she's in possession of a huge amount of money which they believe to be theirs. If she doesn't give it to them, she'll be killed.

Reviews:
"I have found many films just aren't as good as I remember seeing as a kid. A wide-eyed youngster gaping at a big silver screen at the theater can be more memorable than a middle-aged guy seeing that film decades later on a small television.

However, here is one film that is EVEN BETTER than I remembered it. Yeah, it's a little dated here and there, but not much, just mainly Audrey Hepburn's dialog. However, the story with all its twists is just as suspenseful and fun to watch as it was over 50 years ago. I've seen this three times in the last two years, after that long, long absence. (Tip: spend the extra money to get the Criterion DVD disc. It is the only clear, sharp copy of this film I have seen.)

The story's strength lies in getting the viewer involved. One never knows whether Gary Grant is a good guy or a bad guy. The dialog between Grant and Hepburn is very entertaining as the latter tries to figure out the same thing. There are lots of good lines, particularly by Grant. That in itself makes this film fun to watch multiple times. The pacing of this story also is good; the film moves fast and spaces the action out smartly.

This has to be one of the best movies ever to come out of the 1960s. I have never known anyone who didn't like this film."

Audrey Hepburn was just too sweet to be real.❤

[John-jlde]

Certainly one of the best movies ever made.

[lwc]

Grant : "here you are"
Hepburn : "where?"
Grant : "On the street where you (My Fair Lady) live"

[tadcotadco]

Perhaps, the best American movie ever. There is everything: intrigue, a twisted plot, unexpected turns, shooting and sparkling humor

[tzegoh]

Her givenchy-designed wardrobe certainly deserves an award !!

[davidfos]

This is a transitional film between classic Hollywood and modern action movies. It somehow works.

*Fun Fact*
We can see this movie in youtube with no problem because the film includes a notice reading "MCMLXIII BY UNIVERSAL PICTURES COMPANY, INC. and STANLEY DONEN FILMS, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED" but omitting the word "Copyright", "Copr." or the symbol "©". Before 1978, American law required works to include the word, abbreviation or symbol in order to be copyrighted. Because Universal failed to properly display the copyright notice, the film entered into the public domain in the United States immediately upon its release.

Half the budget must have been Hepburn's wardrobe…

Great film if you don't think too much about the implausible plot. The Cary Grant character is often just too annoying, too. This should have been done by a younger actor. Of course they re-created the formula with Peter O'Toole in How to Steal a Million, which is a better film.
