Charade (Stanley Donen, 1963)
Rekha brought in the new year by getting the stomach flu. That put a bit of a damper on the festivities, but no worry. I still got to wear my suit before she totally fell ill. Now we're in video lockdown while she convalesces.
The colour fading is terrible and the aspect ratio is all wrong. Too bad Elgin Street Video didn't have the Criterion version. Still, every time I see this I am totally amused. It's like late Hitchcock but more campy and less cynical.
