Regina Lambert returns to Paris from a ski holiday in Switzerland to find that her husband has been murdered. She is later told by CIA agent Hamilton Bartholemew that Charles Lambert was one of five men who stole $250,000 in gold from the U.S. government during World War II, and the government wants it back. The money was not found among his possessions, and Regina can shed no light on its whereabouts. Later that day she is visited by Peter Joshua, whom she had met briefly while on holiday. When her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former partners in crime, who were doublecrossed by Charles, start calling her looking for the money, Peter offers to help find it. Thus begins an elaborate charade in which nothing is what it seems to be.

Cary Grant, who celebrated his 59th birthday during filming, decided it was time to stop playing the romantic lead after reviews focused on the 26-year age difference between him and Audrey Hepburn, who was only 33 when the movie was made.

This film is public domain due to the failure to put the thenrequired copyright notice in the released print. The supposed copyright notice in the film failed to include the text “Copyright”, “Copr.” or “©”, as was needed by pre-1989 US law (only the year and supposed copyright holder were listed).

It was agreed that Cary Grant would not remove his shirt in the shower scene since he was nearly sixty and slightly overweight.

Professional photographer L.B. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jeffâ&#x20AC;? Jeffries breaks his leg while getting an action shot at an auto race. Confined to his New York apartment, he spends his time looking out of the rear window observing the neighbours. He begins to suspect that the man opposite may have murdered his wife. Jeff enlists the help of his society model girlfriend Lisa Freemont and his nurse Stella to investigate.

The American Film Institute ranked this as the #48 Greatest Movie of All Time & anked #3 on the list of the 10 greatest films in the genre â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mysteryâ&#x20AC;?

The original story by Cornell Woolrich had no love story and no additional neighbors for L.B. Jeffries to spy on, and was created by Alfred Hitchcock and John Michael Hayes. Hayes was encouraged by Hitchcock to spend time with Grace Kelly before writing the Lisa character and Hayes admitted that elements of Lisa were inspired by the actress.

The love affair between war photographer Robert Capa and actress Ingrid Bergman is believed to be Alfred Hitchcockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspiration for the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s romantic aspect.

STARS AUDREY HEPBURN, CARY GRANT, GRACE KELLY, JAMES STEWART

AUDREY HEPBURN REAL NAME: Audrey Kathleen Ruston DATE OF BIRTH:4 May 1929, Ixelles, Belgium DATE OF DEATH: 20 January 1993, Tolochenaz, Switzerland

DANCE & FASHION After the Nazi ocupation, Audrey went to a ballet school in London and later began a modeling career. She was signed to a bit part in the European film Nederlands in 7 lessen (1948). Later, she had a speaking role in Young Wives’ Tale (1951). After she traveled to America to try her luck there.

FIRST SUCCESSES Audrey won an Oscar with Roman Holiday (1953). This gained her enormous popularity and more plum roles. This movie was followed by other like Funny Face (1957). Sabrina (1954), Love in the Afternoon (1957) and The Nun’s Story (1959).

THE END ON TOP Audrey reached the pinnacle of her career when she played Holly Golightly in the delightful film Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961). She scored commercial success again in the espionage caper Charade (1963). One of Audrey’s most radiant roles was in the fine production of My Fair Lady (1964) in 1964. After she did a couple of other movies, most notably Two for the Road (1967) and Wait Until Dark (1967). By the end of the sixties, after her divorce from actor Mel Ferrer, Audrey decided to retire while she was on top. From time to time, she would appear on the silver screen. One film of note was Robin and Marian (1976).Her last film was Always (1989). She had made a total of 31 high quality movies.

CARY GRANT REAL NAME: Archibald Alexander Leach DATE OF BIRTH: 18 January 1904, Horfield, Bristol, England DATE OF DEATH: 29 November 1986, Davenport, Iowa, USA

LEAVING ENGLAND At age nine, he came home from school one day and was told his mother had gone off to a seaside resort. The real truth, however, was that she had been placed in a mental institution. He left school at 14, lying about his age and forging his father’s signature on a letter to join Bob Pender’s troupe of knockabout comedians. In July 1920, was one of the eight Pender boys selected to go to the US.

A GENTLEMAN Mae West wanted Grant for She Done Him Wrong (1933) because she saw his combination of virility, sexuality and the aura and bearing of a gentleman. One biographer said Grant was alienated by the new realism in the film industry. In the 1950s and early 1960s, he had invented a man-ofthe-world persona and a style--”high comedy with polished words.” In To Catch a Thief (1955), he and Grace Kelly were allowed to improvise some of the dialogue. They knew what the director, Alfred Hitchcock, wanted to do with a scene, they rehearsed it, put in some clever double entendres that got past the censors, and then the scene was filmed. His biggest box-office success was another Hitchcock 1950s film, North by Northwest (1959) made with Eva Marie Saint since Kelly was by that time Princess of Monaco.

GRACE KELLY REAL NAME: Grace Patricia Kelly DATE OF BIRTH: 12 November 1929, Philadelphia, PA, USA DATE OF DEATH: 14 September 1982, Monacoville, Monaco

EARLY ACTRESS After her high school graduation in 1947, Grace struck out on her own, heading to New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bright lights to try her luck there. Grace worked some as a model and made her debut on Broadway in 1949. She also made a brief foray into the infant medium of television. Not content with the work in New York, Grace moved to Southern California for the more prestigious part of acting -- motion pictures.

FIRST MOVIES In 1951, she appeared in her first film entitled Fourteen Hours (1951). The following year she landed the role of Amy Kane in High Noon (1952), which turned out to be very popular. In 1953, appeared in Mogambo (1953). Dial M for Murder (1954) made her a star. Her standout performance in Rear Window (1954) brought her to prominence. Grace would forever be immortalized by winning the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Georgie Elgin opposite Bing Crosby in The Country Girl (1954). In 1955, Grace once again teamed with Hitchcock in To Catch a Thief (1955). In 1956, she played the musical comedy High Society (1956). It also turned out to be her final acting performance.

PRINCESS GRACE Grace had recently met and married Prince Rainier of Monaco. By becoming a princess, she gave up her career. For the rest of her life, she was to remain in the news with her marriage and her three children. On September 14, 1982, Grace was killed in an automobile accident in her adoptive home country.

JAMES STEWART REAL NAME: James Maitland Stewart DATE OF BIRTH: 20 May 1908, Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA DATE OF DEATH: 2 July 1997, L.A., California, USA

EARLY SUCCES He was once slated to be an architect.
