Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCary Grant said that this was his personal favorite film.
- GoofsCary Grant's character states that he is from San Francisco, with the implication that he is a native San Franciscan, but his accent makes that exceedingly unlikely. Similarly, Ms Bergman's character has a distinctly non-British accent, while her "sister", played by British actress Phyllis Calvert, has a typical plummy RP accent.

Featured review
Charming and beautifully filmed, if rather pedestrian and slight
In general, I liked Indiscreet. Starting with the film's problems, the story is very slight and some scenes are non-eventful. While not the only film to suffer from this problem, the pacing has a tendency to become very pedestrian, and finally the film's length(100 minutes) may try the viewer's patience, especially with the slow pacing. But even with its problems, it is a charming film, not as good in my opinion as An Affair to Remember but there are a lot of good things about it. Indiscreet is lovely to look at, Ingrid Bergman looks really elegant in her dresses and her apartment is drop dead gorgeous! The cinematography and scenery is also really lovely. I also really liked the score, it was haunting and beautiful and had the hypnotic power than Rachmaninov has in his piano concertos. Stanley Donen directs efficiently, and the dialogue does sparkle. As does the performances and chemistry of Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman, who are great together and each of them are believable in their roles. In terms of effective scenes, the party scene was great fun, it was a real joy to see Grant making "a fool of himself" dancing. Overall, charming if very slight, elevated by the two lead performances. 7/10 Bethany Cox
