Charade is a 1963 American romantic comedy mystery film produced and directed by Stanley Donen, written by Peter Stone and Marc Behm, and starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. The cast also features Walter Matthau, James Coburn, George Kennedy, Dominique Minot, Ned Glass, and Jacques Marin. It spans three genres: suspense thriller, romance and comedy.

The film has a sparkling screenplay, especially the repartee between Grant and Hepburn. It was filmed on location in Paris. Henry Mancini's score features the popular theme song Charade. It has animated titles by Maurice Binder. Charade  has been described as "the best Hitchcock movie [that] Hitchcock never made".

While on holiday in the French Alps with her friend Sylvie, Regina "Reggie" Lampert(played by Audrey Hepburn), an expatriate American working as a simultaneous interpreter, she meets Peter Joshua(played by Cary Grant), a charming American.

On her return to Paris, she finds her apartment stripped bare. A police inspector  tells her that her husband Charles (with whom she is going to divorce) sold off their belongings, then was murdered while leaving Paris. Their money is also missing. 

Screen writer: Peter Stone
(February 27 1930-April 26 2003)

Charade was his first screenplay, based on his novel The Unsuspecting Wife. According to Peter Stone, he has written the screen play with Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant in mind, perhaps that's why they both performed so naturally as if performing themselves.

Screen writer: Marc Behm
(12 January 1925 in Trenton, New Jersey – 12 July 2007 in Fort-Mahon-Plage, France)

As an American solider fighting in France during the second world war, he became fascinated by French culture and fell in love with a French nurse, thus another American in Paris. Recognized better as crime novel writer, but better known as screenwriter of Charade.

Costume Designer: Hubert de Givenchy
(21 February 1927-10 March 2018)

Since the film Sabrina, Hubert de Givenchy became Audrey Hepburn's favorite costume designer for her films. Although the black floor dress he designed for Audrey in film Breakfast at Tiffany's is her most iconic outfit, in Charade, he has made her the most Parisian wardrobe.

Composer: Henry Mancini
(16 April 1924-14 June 1994)

Best known as the composer of Moon River for the film Breakfast at Tiffany's, Henry Mancini was a master of sound that matches moving images, just like the greatest film composers Ennio Morricone and Nino Rota. Perhaps it was his Italian blood.

When screenwriters Peter Stone and Marc Behm submitted their script The Unsuspecting Wife around Hollywood, they were unable to sell it. Stone then turned it into a novel, retitled Charade, which found a publisher and was serialized in Redbook magazine, as many novels were at the time. The series caught the attention of the same Hollywood companies that had passed on it earlier. The film rights were quickly sold to producer/director Stanley Donen. Stone then wrote the final shooting script, tailored to stars Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant, with Behm receiving story co-credit.

Hepburn shot the film in the fall of 1962, immediately after Paris When It Sizzles, which was filmed that summer in a number of the same locations in Paris, but difficulties with the earlier production caused it to be released four months after Charade.

When the film was released at Christmas time, 1963, Audrey Hepburn's line, "at any moment we could be assassinated", was dubbed over with "at any moment we could be eliminated" due to the recent assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The dubbed word stood out quite clearly, so official video releases of the film have since restored the original dialogue, though some public domain videos taken from original release prints still carry the redubbed line.

Cary Grant, who turned 59 during filming, was sensitive about the 25-year age difference between Audrey Hepburn (33 at the time of filming) and himself, and was uncomfortable with their romantic interplay. To satisfy his concerns, the filmmakers agreed to add dialogue that has Grant's character comment on his age, and Hepburn's character Regina is portrayed as the pursuer.

The screenwriter, Peter Stone, and the director, Stanley Donen, have an unusual joint cameo role in the film. When Reggie goes to the U.S. Embassy to meet Bartholomew, two men get on the elevator as she gets off. The man who says, "I bluffed the old man out of the last pot — with a pair of deuces" is Stone, but the voice is Donen's. Stone's voice is later used for the U.S. Marine who is guarding the Embassy at the film's ending.

L'itinéraire, des années 1930 à nos jours, d'un Algérien au destin jalonné de tragédies. Issu d'une famille de paysans ruinés, Younes est arraché à sa mère à l'âge de 9ans, et confié à son oncle, un notable d'Oran.

​While on a skiing holiday in the French Alps, expatriate American simultaneous interpreter Regina "Reggie" Lampert tells her friend Sylvie that she has decided to divorce her husband Charles. She also meets a charming American stranger, Peter Joshua.

On her return to Paris, she finds her apartment stripped bare. A police inspector notifies her that Charles sold off their belongings, then was murdered while trying to leave Paris. The money is missing. At Charles' sparsely attended wake, only three men show up to view the body—all to ensure that he is dead.

Reggie is summoned to meet CIA administrator Hamilton Bartholomew at the American Embassy, where she learns that the three men at the wake are after the missing money, as is the U.S. government stolen by her husband Charles during the Second World War. 

The stranger Reggie met at the Alps Peter Joshua appeared in Paris, thus started a chase of money, a chain of murder, a continuous confusion of identity, and then finally, the destiny of love between Reggie and Peter.

Carlos, Rey Emperador fue una serie de televisión española. La serie narró la historia de Carlos V, uno de los hombres más poderosos que ha conocido Europa, gobernador de un imperio de proporciones tan extraordinarias como su diversidad.

A través del relato de la vida de Carlos de Habsburgo desde su llegada a España, se verá el modo en que el heredero del Imperio Germánico, de Borgoña, de los Países Bajos, del Franco Condado, Artois, Nevers y Rethel, de los territorios de la Corona de Aragón y sus posesiones italianas vinculadas y de los castellanos, norteafricanos y americanos de la Monarquía Católica crece como estadista y cómo se fortalece ante las amenazas que le rodean con los aciertos y errores de sus consejeros.

Carlos, rey emperador (English: Charles, Emperor King) is a Spanish historical fiction television series, directed by Oriol Ferrer and produced by Diagonal TV for Televisión Española. The series is a sequel to the successful Isabel and is based upon the reign of Charles I. (Another film La corona partida, also produced by Diagonal TV, narrating the story of Juana La Loca, daughter of Isabel and mother of Charles I, is like a connecting bridge between the two series Isabel and Carlos, rey emperador)

The series tells the story of Charles I or Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, one of the most powerful men Europe has met, the ruler of an empire as great in size as in diversity.

As the life of Charles of Habsburg is told since his arrival to Spain, it can be seen how the heir to the crowns of Germany, Burgundy, the Netherlands, the Free County, Artois, Nevers and Rethel, of the territories of the Crown of Aragon and its related Italian territories, and of the territories of the Catholic Monarchs in Castile, North Africa and the Americas, matures as a statesman and gets stronger in face of menaces around him and good and bad advice from his counselors.
