Paper-Thin Drawing Room Shenanigans Provide an Excuse to Reunite Grant and Bergman
Reunited a dozen years after co-starring in Alfred Hitchcock's most accomplished romantic thriller, Notorious, Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman strike genuine sparks in a soufflé-light drawing room comedy about a love affair caught up in personal deceptions. Directed rather flatly by Stanley Donen as he was making the transition from musicals like Singin' in the Rain and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, the 1958 film is elegantly mounted but a bit hamstrung by Norman Krasna's uneventful script. The problem is that not much really happens in the story, at least not enough to stretch the expansive talents of the two stars. While Bergman shows what a game farceur she can be with a sharp way of delivering a smart line, Grant seems more on automatic pilot as he applies his naturally debonair manner to a rather idealized character. The focus of the plot is on renowned stage actress Anna Kalman, who has not had much luck with men but certainly gets stalked by overzealous fans every time she is in public. Coming home early from a failed romantic rendezvous, she accidentally meets dashing diplomat Philip Adams. He's handsome, he's successful, he's Cary Grant after all. As an apparent beacon of decency, he admits to Anna that he's married. However, that doesn't stop them from embarking on an illicit affair, which gets stalled only periodically by guilt arising from the adulterous aspect of it. She is resigned to be Philip's back street mistress until she finds out he is not what he quite appears. This is where the film gets a bit more interesting even if it takes over an hour to get to that pivotal point. Simmering anger is followed by a petty act of vengeance as a punishment for the deceit that one character performs on the other, even if the basis of the deceit is well-intentioned. Then in her forties and coming back from exile due to the Rossellini scandal, Bergman exhibits a stylish self-confidence befitting a stage star like Anna. As likeable and charismatic as Grant is, he only comes to life as Philip when the deceptions reveal themselves. Cecil Parker and Phyllis Calvert lend able comic support, though I never could buy the premise that Calvert and Bergman could be sisters given their differing accents. For the most part, Donen simply films the story like a play, no surprise since it was based on a moderately successful Broadway play called "Kind Sir". If you are a fan of either star, you are likely to have already seen this bauble of a film. Otherwise, the 100-minute running time may stretch your patience. As part of the Cary Grant 4-Disc Collector's Set, the 2008 DVD unfortunately offers no extras.

Indiscreet
CUSTOMERS BEWARE! It description lists the DVD as having closed captioned but it does not. I purchased 2 seperate items to make sure and it was not on either the DVD or VHS where it is both listed as having CC for the hearing impaired.

Ab Fab
If you like Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman, LOVE fashion, color movies when "color was color", without computer capabilities to fix "all"--this is your movie. If you love fashion?--the costuming alone is worth watching this movie. Perhaps the story is cliche--fabulous woman meets fabulous man, white lies, then happy ending..but it is a classic. Cary and Ingrid became "Cary and Ingrid" in this movie... Watch it, you'll love it--and watch the clothes...

A great movie- a lousy DVD
I just bought this because it is one of my favorite movies and my VHS tape was kaput after so many viewings. DO NOT BUY THIS DVD!! It is supposed to be widescreen, digitally remastered and close-captioned. It is NONE OF THESE THINGS!! The film is full of lines, snow, etc. No re-mastering here. The menu only contains scene selection and play movie. If I thought I could get my money back, I would send this one back. It is most definitely NOT as advertised.

A very good and very charming romance comedy
If you want to see a light, funny, and witty, romance comedy, you've come to the right film. Bergman is at a beautiful, wiser, and charming 43 and Grant is as handsome as ever. He hardly ever changed did he? The dialog is swift, clever, timeless, and delivered with ridiculous ease from a well picked cast. Even at the outset, the acting by Bergman and strong support by Phyllis Calvert is sublime and transparent. If you aren't smiling or charmed throughout this movie then check your pulse. Maybe 5 stars is a bit much here but I enjoyed this movie as much as any. It's not a movie that is supposed to make you think or profoundly affect you (unless you are an actor) but simply entertain you. And that it did!
