ACW-TV's JayWatch to Celebrate CHARADE At 60

ACW-TV will present a special showing of Stanley Donen's comedic thriller, CHARADE, in honor of the film's 60th anniversary, on its film commentary program, JAY WATCH. A highlight of a very significant year in arts, politics, and history, Charade was recently selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."

Written by Peter Stone and Marc Behm, and starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn, Walter Matthau, James Coburn, and George Kennedy, Charade is a merry dance of romance, screwball comedy, action, mystery, murder, and thrills. It was called "the best Hitchcock movie Hitchcock never made."

Twists and turns and mistaken identity run rampant in this "who-stole-it!" caper peppered by exotic locations (filmed on location in Paris) opening with a mesmerizingly whimsical animated title sequence by Maurice Binder enhancing Henry Mancini's score featuring the popular theme song, "Charade," which was nominated for an Academy Award and rose to No. 6 on the Billboard charts.
