Profile of Indiscreet

The mood of Indiscreet is clever, witty, and humorous. The plot centers around an unlikely couple, opposites attracting, and cons and scams. It is a comedy and romance movie. Stylistically, Indiscreet is talky. In approach, it is realistic. It happens in the 1950s. Indiscreet is adapted from a play. The movie is known for being critically acclaimed. It is especially suggested for a girls' night and a date night.

Summary of Indiscreet

Wealthy American Philip (Cary Grant) and famous actress Anne (Ingrid Bergman) meet just as Anne insists that all the best men have already been taken. Though Philip is taken, Anne can't resist their instant attraction and electricity. But the rather big, and unexpected, secret Philip hides from his new love threatens to spoil everything.

When they teamed up again in INDISCREET--more than a decade after their romance in Hitchcock's NOTORIOUS--Grant and Bergman were no longer shiny-bright young stars. (Grant had been in films for 30 years and a screen idol for 20, while Bergman had made her name in CASABLANCA 15 years earlier.) But Grant's salt-and-pepper hair and Bergman's knowing eyes give their turbulent relationship the weight, subtlety, and wisdom a younger couple couldn't provide. Aided by director Stanley Donen's stylish direction and knowledge of what raises a mundane romance to the level of classic, Bergman and Grant make INDISCREET an intelligent, and enjoyable, tale about the bumpy road of love.

This movie had two of my favorite things going for it: Cary Grant and infidelity. Or, so I thought. Even though it let me down somewhat, I still thoroughly enjoyed myself, considering the highlight of the whole movie was Cary's priceless dancing....
A movie about a woman who meets a married man (wink) and falls in love with him - the movie really never goes anywhere or provides any real fun. Grant and Bergman are both great actors, but they're really never given anything to do here - except...

Not for me
