This film is a great mix between screwball comedy and thriller. When Regina (Reggie) Lambert's (Audrey Hepburn) husband is murdered, the CIA make her aware that he stole $250,000 before he died, and they think she has it. Before she knows what is happening, she finds herself pursued by three criminals who believe the money is rightfully theirs. The only friend she has is the mysterious, but increasingly untrustworthy, Peter Joshua (Cary Grant). As, one by one, the criminals are also murdered, Reggie doesn't know who she can trust and suspects everyone of being the murderer. Walter Matthau is great in the part of the CIA agent. It all comes together in an exciting climax, and the end-reveal is perfect.

Lovers of dark comedy and screwball comedy. Also, lovers of thrillers. Audrey Hepburn sparkles and Cary Grant is smooth and delicious. What more can I say?

The partnership of Hepburn and Grant. They work really well together. I love the comedy. I love the edge-of-the-seat thriller. The reveal at the end (actually, there are two reveals) is brilliant.

Watch more Hepburn and Grant. It also made me want to watch 'Rear Window' for the umpteenth time.

Excited. Happy. Satisfied.

Wonderful! Every single person is cast perfectly. The whole cast works well together.

It's very enjoyable. It's exciting. Hepburn and Grant. Ohh, Hepburn and Grant.
