I had a feeling this would be the case, though I absolutely loved Charade. Grant and Hepburn play so well off each other. Very underrated, in my opinion.

I think Notorious is the far better film. NxNW is good, breezy entertainment, but it's lightweight Hitchcock, like To Catch A Thief. I always preferred his darker films, like Notorious, Psycho, Vertigo...even Rear Window, while breezy, has an air of seriousness.

My favorite Cary Grant film, though, is Only Angels Have Wings.
