1963: Charade

When Audrey Hepburn's husband dies, a lot of men think she has a quarter of a million dollars the man's left behind - and try to get it despite her assurance that she doesn't know what they're on about. - Set in Hollywood's version of Paris and also featuring Cary Grant, this was just the charming little crime comedy that I expected it to be. Not exactly The Ladykillers, but a good pick for a rainy Sunday (or cold New Year's Day). (7)
