и присвоил четверть миллиона

((Вика на русском и Вика на англ. не вполне совпали по определению "Шарады".

Для одной это "романтический детектив". для другой "romantic screwball comedy mystery film".

«Шарада» (англ. Charade; США, 1963) — романтический детектив кинорежиссёра Стэнли Донена. Главные роли исполнили Одри Хепбёрн и Кэри Грант
А рассеянный зритель, засмотревшись на обаяшку Одри, может не въехать, на чем базируется лента.

"Оказывается, её бывший муж во время войны служил в разведке и вместе с четырьмя сослуживцами присвоил четверть миллиона долларов, предназначенных для поддержки французского Сопротивления.

В смысле, лучшие из лучших - с соответствующими мордами лица - обворовывают патритов, которые сражаются с Фашизмом!
Конечно, советским разведчикам такое даже в голову бы не пришло.))

"Cary Grant, who turned 58 during filming, was sensitive about the 25-year age difference between Audrey Hepburn (33 at the time of filming) and himself, and was uncomfortable with their romantic interplay. To address his concerns, the filmmakers agreed to add dialogue that has Grant's character comment on his age, and Regina — Hepburn's character — being portrayed as the pursuer.

"When the film was released at Christmas time, 1963, Audrey Hepburn's line, "at any moment we could be assassinated", was dubbed over with "at any moment we could be eliminated" due to the recent assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Upon returning from Somalia to Switzerland in late September 1992, Hepburn developed abdominal pain. While initial medical tests in Switzerland had inconclusive results, a laparoscopy performed at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles in early November revealed a rare form of abdominal cancer belonging to a group of cancers known as pseudomyxoma peritonei.[128] Having grown slowly over several years, the cancer had metastasised as a thin coating over her small intestine. After surgery, Hepburn began chemotherapy.[129]

Hepburn and her family returned home to Switzerland to celebrate her last Christmas. As she was still recovering from surgery, she was unable to fly on commercial aircraft. Her long-time friend, fashion designer Hubert de Givenchy, arranged for socialite Rachel Lambert "Bunny" Mellon to send her private Gulfstream jet, filled with flowers, to take Hepburn from Los Angeles to Geneva. She spent her last days in hospice care at her home in Tolochenaz, Vaud, and was occasionally well enough to take walks in her garden, but gradually became more confined to bedrest.[130]

On the evening of 20 January 1993, Hepburn died in her sleep at home.

Несмотря на многочисленные браки Гранта, в Голливуде никогда не утихали спекуляции о его гомосексуальных предпочтениях, в частности, о романе с актёром Рэндольфом Скоттом. Однако дочь актёра Дженнифер заявила в 2011 году, что её отец никогда не увлекался мужчинами, а слухи о романе с актёром Рэндольфом Скоттом — всего лишь слухи[47][48][49]. Грант, как всегда, хладнокровно обсуждал выдуманную прессой гомосексуальность: «У меня нет планов писать собственную автобиографию, я оставляю эту работу другим. Уверен, они смогут сделать из меня гомосексуалиста, нацистского шпиона или ещё кого-нибудь»[43].

McCann notes that because Grant came from a working-class background and was not well educated, he made a particular effort over the course of his career to mix with high society and absorb their knowledge, manners, and etiquette to compensate and cover it up

Grant lived with actor Randolph Scott off and on for 12 years, which some claimed was a homosexual relationship.[303] The two met early on in Grant's career in 1932 at the Paramount studio when Scott was filming Sky Bride while Grant was shooting Sinners in the Sun; they moved in together soon afterwards.[304] Whether the couple were in a relationship is a matter of biographical dispute.[305] Richard Blackwell, then an actor at RKO, and photographer Jerome Zerbe who shot a series of publicity photographs of the couple in their home, both claimed to have slept with the pair; Blackwell writing in his autobiography that Grant and Scott "were deeply, madly in love, their devotion was complete.

Grant began experimenting with the drug LSD in the late 1950s,[311] before it became more widely popular. His wife at the time, Betsy Drake, displayed a keen interest in psychotherapy, and through her Grant developed a considerable knowledge of the field of psychoanalysis. Radiologist Mortimer Hartman began treating him with LSD in the late 1950s, with Grant optimistic that the treatment could make him feel better about himself, and rid him of the inner turmoil stemming from his childhood and his failed relationships. He had an estimated 100 sessions over several years.[312] For a long time, Grant viewed the drug positively, and stated that it was the solution after many years of "searching for his peace of mind", and that for the first time in his life he was "truly, deeply and honestly happy".[312] Dyan Cannon claimed during a court hearing that he was an "apostle of LSD", and that he was still taking the drug in 1967 as part of a remedy to save their relationship.[313] Grant later remarked that "taking LSD was an utterly foolish thing to do but I was a self-opinionated boor, hiding all kinds of layers and defences, hypocrisy and vanity. I had to get rid of them and wipe the slate clean."[314]

Relationships

Grant was married five times.[315] He wed Virginia Cherrill on February 9, 1934, at the Caxton Hall registry office in London.[316] She divorced him on March 26, 1935,[317] following charges that he had hit her.[318] The two were involved in a bitter divorce case which was widely reported in the press, with Cherrill demanding $1,000 a week from him in benefits from his Paramount earnings.[108] After the end of the marriage, he dated actress Phyllis Brooks from 1937. They considered marriage and vacationed together in Europe in mid-1939, visiting the Roman villa of Dorothy Taylor Dentice di Frasso in Italy, but the relationship ended later that year.[319]

Grant married Dyan Cannon on July 22, 1965, at Howard Hughes' Desert Inn in Las Vegas,[330] and their daughter Jennifer was born on February 26, 1966, his only child;[331] he frequently called her his "best production".[332] He said of fatherhood:

My life changed the day Jennifer was born. I've come to think that the reason we're put on this earth is to procreate. To leave something behind. Not films, because you know that I don't think my films will last very long once I'm gone. But another human being. That's what's important.[333]

Grant and Cannon separated in August 1967.[334]

On March 12, 1968, Grant was involved in a car accident in Queens, New York, en route to JFK Airport, when a truck hit the side of his limousine. Grant was hospitalized for 17 days with three broken ribs and bruising. A female companion, Baroness Gratia von Furstenberg, was also injured in the accident.[335][336] Nine days later, Grant and Cannon divorced.[337]

On April 11, 1981, Grant married Barbara Harris, a British hotel public relations agent who was 47 years his junior.[346] The two had met in 1976 at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London where Harris was working at the time and Grant was attending a Fabergé conference. They became friends, but it was not until 1979 that she moved to live with him in California. Grant's friends felt that she had a positive impact on him, and Prince Rainier of Monaco remarked that Grant had "never been happier" than he was in his last years with her.[347]

Grant was at the Adler Theater in Davenport, Iowa, on the afternoon of Saturday, November 29, 1986, preparing for his performance in A Conversation with Cary Grant when he was taken ill; he had been feeling unwell as he arrived at the theater. Basil Williams photographed him there and thought that he still looked his usual suave self, but he noticed that he seemed very tired and that he stumbled once in the auditorium. Williams recalls that Grant rehearsed for half an hour before "something seemed wrong" all of a sudden, and he disappeared backstage. Grant was taken back to the Blackhawk Hotel where he and his wife had checked in, and a doctor was called and discovered that Grant was having a massive stroke, with a blood pressure reading of 210 over 130. Grant refused to be taken to the hospital. The doctor recalled: "The stroke was getting worse. In only fifteen minutes he deteriorated rapidly. It was terrible watching him die and not being able to help. But he wouldn't let us." By 8:45 p.m., Grant had slipped into a coma and was taken to St. Luke's Hospital in Davenport, Iowa.[352] He spent 45 minutes in the emergency room before being transferred to intensive care. He died at 11:22 p.m., aged 82.[353]
