This movie was one of the most insulting movies I've ever seen! Not only does it not follow the plot of "Charade", but it's also inconsistent and doesn't make much sense! For an example, what happened to Tex Panthollow, Leopold W. Gideon, and Herman Scobie? These new "villains" are nothing but awful, and the least bit funny. One of the best parts of "Charade" were the memorable quotes, and The Truth About Charlie failed to use any of them. You just cannot remake a movie without following the plot, using at least some of the original dialogue, and using the same names. For whatever reason, the director decided to change "Peter Joshua" to "Joshua Peters", and made him "Mr. Bartholemew's brother". Also, aren't ALL the villains supposed to end up being ? Charade had the most amazing cast-Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant. James Coburn, Walter Matthau, Ned Glass, and George Kennedy were amazing as well. "You greenhorn! ... You fell for it like an egg from a tall chicken!" who could forget quotes like that? If you've seen Charade, I guarantee you will NOT like The Truth About Charlie. Charade fans, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS MOVIE!
