Charade (1963), the Lols and the Ha-has

“mrs lambert it’s me, the man who was in your room a few minutes ago.”

this guy was just in aud’s room trying to murder her by punching her with his hook-for-a-hand, and now he’s on the phone politely introducing himself

idk if this is meant to be funny, but it Is

NEXT FUNNY BIT:

Audrey is stalking Cary, and somebody calls him on the phone in this (post office??). In the frame 2 above you can see a woman with her back to the camera (and to him) waiting on the phone. i was fully expecting this to be auds. but then the camera pans and shows audrey in booth 5 instead, wearing the exact same outfit.

is this supposed to be funny?? it made me laugh

i think it must be a joke. but just a subtle one. the movie’s tone is not comedic at all. but it has really weird subtle jokes like this? anyway. It Funny.

NEXT FUNNY BIT:

this lady is a genius comedic actor, and she’s in it for less than a second. WHO IS SHE
