A mysterious man, Peter Joshua, offers to help her, but he seems to have a different name every time. Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn star, with music by Henry Mancini.

Sinekatalog’s take

A light, perfectly paced mixture of romance, comedy and thriller that people often call 'the best Hitchcock film Hitchcock never made'. It is Grant and Hepburn, Paris and a twisty plot, and it is great fun.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
