4 weeks ago - Deschner ranked the film as the second highest grossing of Grant's career. Producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman originally sought Grant for the role of James Bond in Dr. No (1962) but discarded the idea as Grant would be committed to only one feature film; therefore, the producers decided to go after someone who could be part of a franchise after James Mason would only agree to commit to three films. In 1963, Grant appeared in his last typically suave, romantic role opposite Audrey Hepburn in Charade.

The movie Charade (1963) was the last film starring Cary Grant as a romantic lead. He was 59 years old, and felt awkward that his character was flirting with his co-star Audrey Hepburn, who was 33. So the dialogue was rewritten to make Audrey’s character the flirt with a preference for older men.

He also passed on playing opposite her in Love in the Afternoon six years earlier because of the age difference.
