The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Based on the play "Kind Sir", only for aficionados of Cary or Ingrid. Mostly, just a series of small talks, including a couple of split screen pillow talks. The plot is that Cary wants some romance without the possible complication of marriage. Sound familiar? Thus, instead of the more common ploy of pretending to be single, when married, he pretends to be married when single and unattached. But, to give them some ray of hope, he says he is separated from his wife. Thus, his wife becomes essentially a nonentity in their minds, freeing up their conscience. Ingrid attempts to get even with Cary when she finds out the truth, by making him jealous. But it backfires, and all is forgiven in the end. The film is way too long for its level of interest. Should have been 75 min. max.Incidentally, Cary's joke about being a left-handed violin player reflects the fact that he was left handed. According to a web source, this is the only film in which he was allowed to act left-handed!Available at YouTube

Two materialistic shallow non entities with as much charm as calculators meet. The romance is flat depressing and full of embarrassing silences such as when Grant stares at her like a moron whilst she eats her breakfast uncomfortable in his stare, it is very similar to Pretty woman as the writer thinks money is romance.If Bacall and Bogart are like introducing Nitro to Glycerin then these two is like introducing Liquid to Nitrogen.Strip away their money there would be nothing left at all."Bar deeps Giddy Grot" that's how you say "My name's Cary Grant" in his voice.

This tends to be my favorite times of year, as the Oscars are approaching many of the movie channels have schedules that include nominees and winners of the many Academy Awards. Indiscreet was not nominated for any Academy Awards but was an enjoyable film none the less. The film follows Anna Kalman (Ingrid Bergman), an accomplished actress in her quest for a mate; it seems she has everything but a man. In walks Phillip Adams (Cary Grant), who is charming, funny and married, so she thinks. The two of them have several dates and end up falling for each other but the only thing that stands between Anna and Phillip is the fact that Phillip is married, or is he.Come to find out Phillip tells the women in his life that he is married to protect his way of life. Once Anna finds out the truth she plots revenge on Phillip, she hopes to teach him a lesson. Indiscreet is a classic rom-com with great dialogue delivered by two of the best of that era. The film itself is certainly not great but watching two greats such as Bergman and Grant is a pleasure in itself. The lines of dialogue are delivered with such ease and with such great timing that it is hard not to enjoy the film for that very reason.

Out of Warner Brothers, Indiscreet is directed by Stanley Donen and stars Ingrid Bergman & Cary Grant, with support coming from Cecil Parker, Phyllis Calvert, David Kossoff & Megs Jenkins. It is based on the play "Kind Sir" written by Norman Krasna. Plot sees Bergman as Anna Kalman, an accomplished actress who can't believe her luck when she finally meets the man of her dreams, Philip Adams (Grant). However, Phillip is keeping a secret, a secret that Anna finds out about and promptly sets about getting even with him for.Indiscreet is a very simple movie. Grant and Bergman re-team again 12 years after making Notorious with Alfred Hitchcock. Their chemistry is again sparkling and Donen utilises it to the maximum by naturally building the film around the charismatic stars. There's no hidden agendas here, the movie knows it is breezy and understands that good writing (edgy at times) and two comfortable actors can make for good entertainment. It starts off slow, but the character build up pays off once Grant & Bergman start their romance, in fact the comedy is indeed thin on the ground for the first half of the film. But once the secret at the core of the plot is out, the comedy kicks into gear, with a dancing party sequence joyous and alone is worth watching the film for.Also note worthy is the London location which provides a fitting back drop to the well mannered, well to do, coupling of Anna & Phillip. While the costumes too are pleasing and hang nicely off of the two aesthetically safe-in middle-age actors. It's no screwball, far from it, so any expectation of that will surely disappoint newcomers. And true to say it's very old fashioned and of its time as regards its romantic ideals. But that's OK, we like light hearted well written comedy, especially when it's performed as smooth as it is here. 7/10
