Christian Dior really ought to be considered one of the stars of Indiscreet, director Stanley Donen's consummately glamorous, altogether grown-up love story. The magnificent 1950s "New Look" gowns Dior designed for Ingrid Bergman, herself at the peak of sophistication and loveliness, are a high point of the film's chic, cosmopolitan mise en scène. Bergman plays Anne Kalman, a celebrated actress who's "the envy of everyone who knows her," yet is bored and lonely. Then she meets suave diplomat Philip Adams (Cary Grant), her match in every way: looks, charm, elegance--the works. The electricity is palpable between them and neither makes any attempt to hide that fact. When Anne learns that Philip is an expert on international finance, she's bold enough to crack: "I'm crazy about hard currency."
It's the very maturity of the romance between Anne and Philip that makes this movie so exhilarating, so romantic, and so affecting. When people fall in love at "a certain age" it's much more poignant; much more is at stake. (The film has a truly surprising plot twist, which throws everything into chaos.) The two "sadder but wiser" stars Bergman and Grant had certainly seen their share of love and heartbreak by this time in their lives, and it shows. (Grant was on the third of his five marriages; Bergman's career had already survived the scandal of her adulterous affair with Roberto Rossellini.) It's fascinating to watch them both, knowing what we know of their personal lives: to see Bergman's Anne throw caution to the wind to commit an "indiscretion" with a married man; to observe Grant/Philip's distinct ambivalence about the institution of marriage. It's a case of picture-perfect casting. --Laura Mirsky

This is what movie goer's go to see!
This is CLASSIC with finesse - insurmountable in EVERY way in my opinion!
It's actors have CLASS that cannot be rivalled!
Delivery that was flawless and a script that is elegant and needs people who have that 'special' elegance that very few can deliver.
Is this a MUST for your collection if you appreciate SUPERB elegant movie making - YES! It's 11 out of 10 - no contest!

Despite the fact that Artisan put the CC symbol on this and others in the "Cary Grant Collection," they are NOT closed captioned. We had this problem with both "The Grass is Greener" and "Indiscreet" and assume it is the same for others in the collection.
Very frustrating for those of us who are hearing impaired!

I love this movie. Not one of Cary's more popular movies but very good none the less. The pairing of Cary Grant & Ingrid Bergman is wonderful & if you like `"Notorious" you'll like this one too. Very charming film that Turner Classic Movies rarely shows on TV. Nobody does romantic comedy like Cary Grant....if you love Cary like I love Cary you will not be disappointed!

Reunited a dozen years after co-starring in Alfred Hitchcock's most accomplished romantic thriller, Notorious, Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman strike genuine sparks in a soufflé-light drawing room comedy about a love affair caught up in personal deceptions. Directed rather flatly by Stanley Donen as he was making the transition from musicals like Singin' in the Rain and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, the 1958 film is elegantly mounted but a bit hamstrung by Norman Krasna's uneventful script.

CUSTOMERS BEWARE! It description lists the DVD as having closed captioned but it does not. I purchased 2 seperate items to make sure and it was not on either the DVD or VHS where it is both listed as having CC for the hearing impaired.
