What better way is there to kick off our Classic Movie Nights series for 2026 than with the most charming game of cat-and-mouse ever put on screen? Join us for Charade—Stanley Donen’s irresistible mix of romance and suspense that pairs two of Hollywood’s brightest stars at the height of their powers.
After Regina Lampert (Audrey Hepburn) falls for the dashing Peter Joshua (Cary Grant) on a skiing holiday in the French Alps, she discovers upon her return to Paris that her husband has been murdered. Soon, she and Peter are giving chase to three of her late husband’s World War II cronies, Tex (James Coburn), Scobie (George Kennedy) and Gideon (Ned Glass), who are after a quarter of a million dollars the quartet stole while behind enemy lines. But why does Peter keep changing his name?
Often dubbed “the best Hitchcock movie Hitchcock never made,” Charade pairs up Hepburn and Grant along with some witty dialogue and glamorous locations for some of the most flirtatious thrills of all time!
Make sure to get to the screening early, as our Marketing Director Bekah will be doing a very informative and entertaining presentation on the film before it starts!
