Disturbing yet enthralling

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Appreciation for the 1958 romantic comedy 'Indiscreet' will likely depend on one's interest in watching the two stars, Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman, play out romantic scenarios. Though both deliver charming performances, one is left with the impression that the generic and largely unfunny script would have come apart completely in less capable hands. As it is, 'Indiscreet' is not a bad movie. The performances of the two leads, together with a few genuinely amusing moments towards the end as the couple's tangled schemes start to unravel, are enough to compensate for its deficiencies. However, for another, much finer, Bergman/Grant romance, try Alfred Hitchcock's 'Notorious.'

Two materialistic shallow non entities with as much charm as calculators meet. The romance is flat depressing and full of embarrassing silences such as when Grant stares at her like a moron whilst she eats her breakfast uncomfortable in his stare, it is very similar to Pretty woman as the writer thinks money is romance.If Bacall and Bogart are like introducing Nitro to Glycerin then these two is like introducing Liquid to Nitrogen.Strip away their money there would be nothing left at all."Bar deeps Giddy Grot" that's how you say "My name's Cary Grant" in his voice.

It's new to me, that I watch these old Cary Grant movies. Usually I'm more used to new movies and I have my problems finding the great things about old ones. But this one really changed it.The Director came up with four great Characters and each one of them is fun to see while they have time on the camera. Its furthermore great to see, how the characters relate to each others which results in funny and intelligent dialogs. The tip of the iceberg certainly is Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergmann. He's the real Gentleman with good manners and a little sarcastic humor trying to put the woman first. She's the successful Actor taking what she wants when she wants it. It great to see these two different, strong and independent characters getting along with each other.

A stage actress meets the man of her dreams, but he turns out to be married, which she doesn't mind. Given the talents involved, this one is quite disappointing. Grant and Bergman have the star power to overcome inferior material, but the script for this one is so anemic that even they can't breathe life into it. It also appears that the stars were a bit long in the tooth for these roles as written, as they often behave like teenagers in love. Krasna, who adapted his own play, has a long list of screen writing credits, but this one is mostly dull, although it does pick up some steam towards the end. Donen does little to breathe life into it.
