Review of Indiscreet

Indiscreet (1958)
7/10
Cary Grant & Ingrid Bergman have Magnetic Chemistry!
17 December 1999
Cary Grant & Ingrid Bergman are my favorite movie couple, of all time!!! They have undeniable chemistry together. I wish, they could've done many more movies. ''Indiscreet'' is a very enjoyable, and delightful film. Any fans of Cary & Ingrid must see! Though, the script is not as interesting, as ''Notorious''. Cary & Ingrid's presence, makes that seem invisible. Neither, Cary nor Ingrid, looked 10 years older, since their last collaboration in ''Notorious''. What makes, their teaming so meaningful. Is the fact, that Cary & Ingrid are close friends in real life. Cary has commented, that Ingrid is one of his favorite leading ladies. In 1957, Cary also accepted the Oscar for Ingrid, as Best Actress. ''Indiscreet'' is probably, Ingrid's first US comedy, and proves she's a very versatile actress. She's very sweet, and charming in this movie. Not to mention, funny. Unlike some actresses, who are in comedies, but still acts like, they're in drama. Cary, was debonair and suave, as usual. What surprised me, was that he looked younger, than when he was in ''To Catch a Thief''! Which was made earlier. One reason could be, the pairing with Ingrid. The bedroom scene in ''Indiscreet'' is most memorable. Ingrid, shows-off her comedic ability. I just can't, get enough of Cary & Ingrid, they were superb in ''Notorious'', but because of the plot, their relationship seemed bittersweet. ''Indiscreet'', makes up for that, the characters are warm, funny and romantic. Most importantly, Cary & Ingrid looks gorgeous in Technicolor!!!
