Enchanted, again, by Charade (1963)

You're allowed to kiss back.
Oh, no. The doctor said it was bad for my... thermostat.
(They kiss.)
Well, when you come on, you come on, don't you ? !
Well... *come on* !#AllTheSharpDialogue

Is there a *Mrs* Canfield ?
Yes, but (Together.) we're divorced.
That's right. Now, go and eat your dinner.
Oh, I could eat a horse.
I think that's what you ordered.#AllTheSharpDialogue

Is there a Mrs Dyle ?
Yes. (Pause.) But we're divorced.
I thought that was Peter Joshua.
I'm just as difficult to live with as he was.#AllTheSharpDialogue

Here you are !
Where ?
On the street, where you live.
How about once more around the park ?
How about getting out of here ? Come on, child – out !#AllTheSharpDialogue

Unlike in Sunset Boulevard* (1950), William Holden is not, as Joe Gillis is, prey for Gloria Swanson (Norma Desmond), but he is another writer (Richard Benson), and Audrey Hepburn (Gabrielle Simpson) seems his prey.

For more on why what follows was written, go to the web-site of New Empress Magazine:

Myself (in a sideways take on this), I’d watch out for a DVD issue of a film called Misrepresentation (2009).

You won’t happen to remember it being on general release, which is strange, because it is said to star (amongst others) Johnny Depp and Lady Gaga, so you are fascinated.

When, having bought it (in said state of fascination), you finally take it out of the pile of DVDs like mine that you know, if you’re being honest, you’ve got of films that you ‘haven’t quite yet’ caught up with, you won’t be disappointed:

You’ll actually prefer what you see, because it’s that winning team of Hepburn and Grant in Charade (1963).

So, enjoy it, and just thank the kind distributor for your not having to witness the film – if it had been made – that would otherwise be on your screen!

(By the way, more such oddities – sometimes, amid genuine reviews – on the blog at Unofficial Cambridge Film Festival)
