Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Philip Rosenthal 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.
edwagreen You call this romantic comedy? What a farce. Cary Grant, a known womanizer plays a NATO Representative who meets the sister-in-law of a fellow diplomat. Ingrid Bergman is that woman and in the movie she portrays a well-known theatrical actress.The two fall for each other quickly, but Grant is married and supposedly cannot get a divorce. Remember I said the word supposedly.When the Bergman character learns the truth she plots to fix Adams (Grant) but good, but that plot falls apart as well as the picture.This story could have been told in about 20 minutes. Probably, the best part of the movie is when Bergman and Grant participate in a Scottish dance. Grant really kicks up his heels. Bergman is no slouch either, but her silly way to get even is just inane.
Spikeopath Out of Warner Brothers, Indiscreet is directed by Stanley Donen and stars Ingrid Bergman & Cary Grant, with support coming from Cecil Parker, Phyllis Calvert, David Kossoff & Megs Jenkins. It is based on the play "Kind Sir" written by Norman Krasna. Plot sees Bergman as Anna Kalman, an accomplished actress who can't believe her luck when she finally meets the man of her dreams, Philip Adams (Grant). However, Phillip is keeping a secret, a secret that Anna finds out about and promptly sets about getting even with him for.Indiscreet is a very simple movie. Grant and Bergman re-team again 12 years after making Notorious with Alfred Hitchcock. Their chemistry is again sparkling and Donen utilises it to the maximum by naturally building the film around the charismatic stars. There's no hidden agendas here, the movie knows it is breezy and understands that good writing (edgy at times) and two comfortable actors can make for good entertainment. It starts off slow, but the character build up pays off once Grant & Bergman start their romance, in fact the comedy is indeed thin on the ground for the first half of the film. But once the secret at the core of the plot is out, the comedy kicks into gear, with a dancing party sequence joyous and alone is worth watching the film for.Also note worthy is the London location which provides a fitting back drop to the well mannered, well to do, coupling of Anna & Phillip. While the costumes too are pleasing and hang nicely off of the two aesthetically safe-in middle-age actors. It's no screwball, far from it, so any expectation of that will surely disappoint newcomers. And true to say it's very old fashioned and of its time as regards its romantic ideals. But that's OK, we like light hearted well written comedy, especially when it's performed as smooth as it is here. 7/10
International_Chicken I'm sorry, I love Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman, that's the reason why I watched this movie, but I couldn't stand the movie. The acting was right on the mark, more the reason to dislike the characters and want there to be an explosion at the end. I've never seen a movie where I liked Cary Grant less. The one redeeming part of the movie was seeing Cary Grant dance like an idiot for about 2 minutes. There are a few amusing moments, and lots of very awkward ones. It was also much to long for an average rom/com. Nearly two hours of having to watch to people that I personally would not want to spend much time with in real life. If you like Cary Grant or Ingrid Bergman, and want to keep liking their movies, don't watch this. So once again, avoid at all possible measures.
