CHARADE (CHARADE, 1963)

Stanley Donen directed Charade, a romantic thriller with a touch of comedy. At times felt like it was handled by Alfred Hitchcock thus earning the phrase 'the best Hitchcock movie that Hitchcock never made'. The icon of beauty Audrey Hepburn and dashing Cary Grant stars. A melancholic theme compliments the film.

CHARADE

sung by: Chorus

When we played our charade

We were like children posing

Playing at games, acting out names

Guessing the parts we played

Oh what a hit we made

We came on next to closing

Best on the bill, lovers until

Love left the masquerade

Fate seemed to pull the strings

I turned and you were gone

While from the darkened wings

That music box played on

Sad little serenade

Song of my heart’s composing

I hear it still, I always will

Best on the bill

Charade
