Appreciation for the 1958 romantic comedy 'Indiscreet' will likely depend on one's interest in watching the two stars, Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman, play out romantic scenarios. Though both deliver charming performances, one is left with the impression that the generic and largely unfunny script would have come apart completely in less capable hands. As it is, 'Indiscreet' is not a bad movie. The performances of the two leads, together with a few genuinely amusing moments towards the end as the couple's tangled schemes start to unravel, are enough to compensate for its deficiencies. However, for another, much finer, Bergman/Grant romance, try Alfred Hitchcock's 'Notorious.'

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.

It's new to me, that I watch these old Cary Grant movies. Usually I'm more used to new movies and I have my problems finding the great things about old ones. But this one really changed it.The Director came up with four great Characters and each one of them is fun to see while they have time on the camera. Its furthermore great to see, how the characters relate to each others which results in funny and intelligent dialogs. The tip of the iceberg certainly is Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergmann. He's the real Gentleman with good manners and a little sarcastic humor trying to put the woman first. She's the successful Actor taking what she wants when she wants it. It great to see these two different, strong and independent characters getting along with each other.

You call this romantic comedy? What a farce. Cary Grant, a known womanizer plays a NATO Representative who meets the sister-in-law of a fellow diplomat. Ingrid Bergman is that woman and in the movie she portrays a well-known theatrical actress.The two fall for each other quickly, but Grant is married and supposedly cannot get a divorce. Remember I said the word supposedly.When the Bergman character learns the truth she plots to fix Adams (Grant) but good, but that plot falls apart as well as the picture.This story could have been told in about 20 minutes. Probably, the best part of the movie is when Bergman and Grant participate in a Scottish dance. Grant really kicks up his heels. Bergman is no slouch either, but her silly way to get even is just inane.
