While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

like many old films, not exactly the story is the source of seduction. or, more precise, not the basic source. but the meet with two great actors and theirs performances in the lead roles. and the right performances for the secondary roles, like perfect frame. Ingrid Bergman is admirable in the role of famous actress and Cary Grant is himself, the same from so many films, mixing charm, ambiguity and humor in a splendid way, giving a fascinating character who preserves the flavor of great performance after the end of film. short, a lovely film, game of masks, doubts and love , remembering the atmosphere of a subtle art.

irresistible charm of Cary Grant. glamor of Ingrid Bergman. rivers of romance. beautiful clothes, elegant places. short - a new form of fairy tale. but not few elements are important. the seduction secret is the game of director with public. the little conspiracy because a real fairy tale is not only a collection of nice images. the dialogs are heart of its success. a man. a woman. few events. and new beginning for each. old recipes. very special in this case for the smart way to mix spices. part of a dead period, seed for dreams of generations, it is a precious piece from box with souvenirs.is it enough ? maybe ! the love is always interesting. the dreams - every time remains free.

"Indiscreet" unites actress Ingrid Bergman and actor Cary Grant, who worked together over a decade earlier on Alfred Hitchcock's "Notorious". And like "Notorious", "Indiscreet" is a romantic jaunt, though director Stanley Donen replaces Hitch's psycho-sexual twistedness with much screwball and farce.The film finds the always regal Bergman playing Anna Kalman, a single gal looking for Mr Right. Alongside her is Grant's Philip Adams, a NATO analyst (think of him as an off-duty Hitchcock hero) who pretends to be married whilst indulging in steamy, hotel room liaisons with Anna. The film unleashes a barrage of Hitchcockian double entendres - "I love hard currency," Bergman purrs – before Bergman explodes upon learning that the man she's having an affair with "dares to make love to me and not be married!" With notions regarding what's "sexy", "charming", "flirtateous" and "romantic" always changing somewhat, modern audiences will no doubt find "Indiscreet" a dull, stiff, archaic affair. What the film gets right is the reliance of pleasure on taboo and transgression. I.e. you want it because you can't have it, and not having it increases the pleasure of attaining it. Take this further – studies show that those who masturbate more have fewer nocturnal dreams – and you can extrapolate all manners of creepiness: pleasure, hedonism and the "death of discretion" leading directly to the wider, societal death of dreams, possibility and even romance itself. On a smaller scale, Grant's lack of a wife results in Anna's failures to sustain her illusions and opens up the traumatic possibility that she may actually possess him. And of course nothing kills the illusion of a happily ever after, than an after.Though marketed as a showcase for mega-stars Grant and Bergman, actress Phyllis Calvert steals the show. The film contains an unintentionally creepy scene in which Grant dances a jig. It's cringe inducing. Like watching your grandpa flirt with choir girls.6.9/10 – Worth one viewing.

I'm sorry, I love Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman, that's the reason why I watched this movie, but I couldn't stand the movie. The acting was right on the mark, more the reason to dislike the characters and want there to be an explosion at the end. I've never seen a movie where I liked Cary Grant less. The one redeeming part of the movie was seeing Cary Grant dance like an idiot for about 2 minutes. There are a few amusing moments, and lots of very awkward ones. It was also much to long for an average rom/com. Nearly two hours of having to watch to people that I personally would not want to spend much time with in real life. If you like Cary Grant or Ingrid Bergman, and want to keep liking their movies, don't watch this. So once again, avoid at all possible measures.
