Reggie (Audrey Hepburn), whose mysterious husband whom she didn’t like has been murdered, is growing fond of the attention of Peter (Cary Grant) who, as far as we know, has nothing to do with the intrigue, when thug George Kennedy turns up, in director Stanley Donen’s Charade, 1963,

Warned by American spies that the murderers of her husband may be after her, Reggie (Audrey Hepburn) has asked new friend Peter (Cary Grant) to meet her in a Paris park, then a night club, where director Stanley Donen stages a gratuitous pantomime, in his Hitchcock homage Charade, 1963

At the funeral of the murdered husband she planned to divorce, “Reggie” (Audrey Hepburn), with pal Sylvie (Dominique Minot), notes three odd mourners (Ned Glass, James Coburn, George Kennedy), Jacques Marin the Paris cop, in Stanley Donen’s Charade, 1963, co-starring Cary Grant.
