"Charade": Who Spoke? Trivia Quiz

Answer: Audrey Hepburn

Regina Lampert (Hepburn) is vacationing in the mountains with her friend Sylvie (Dominque Minot) and Sylvie's son Jean-Louis (Thomas Chelimsky). Reggie speaks this line to the boy just after he has shot her in the face with his water pistol. Not long afterward the child's weapon is the means of introduction of Reggie to Peter Joshua (Cary Grant), who wishes to return the marauder to his mother.

Answer: Cary Grant

Reggie tells Peter that she is returning to Paris to divorce her husband, Charles. Peter counters that he is also leaving for Paris, and asks how he can contact her to which she replies that Charles is in the phone book. Peter then asks this question and Reggie says that there's just one.

As Peter leaves, she says to herself "I hope so!" Although the two have just met, there is already a spark of interest between them.

Answer: Dominique Minot

Upon her return to Paris, Reggie finds her apartment cleaned out and Charles gone. She soon learns that Charles has been murdered and thrown from a train, having sold everything and tried to leave Paris. Besides the mystery of his murder, a quarter of a million dollars is missing.

At Charles' funeral, three strange and intimidating men appear, each approaching the coffin as if to ensure that Lampert is really dead. Reggie's friend Sylvie is sitting with her in the front row of the chapel, and speaks this line when one of the men, Gideon, has a sneezing fit by the coffin. She observes that he must know Charles well, to have that reaction. Besides the two women and the three newcomers, the only other mourner is police inspector Edouard Grandpierre (Jacques Marin).

Answer: Ned Glass

Having helped Reggie to find a hotel near her work, Peter has taken Reggie out to a club for some relaxation. While they are engaged in a game that involves passing an orange from person to person without using one's hands, Leopold Gideon (Glass) gets in line so Reggie has to pass the orange to him, and utters this threatening line.

Her reaction is to bolt from the room, to telephone a man she has met at the American Embassy (Walter Matthau), who she thinks can help her.

Answer: Audrey Hepburn

Reggie's attempt to phone for help is thwarted by another of the trio from the funeral, all of whom think she has the missing money. Tex (James Coburn) is even scarier than Gideon, smiling and chatting as he lights one match after another, dropping them into Reggie's lap as she sits in the phone box.

She is forced to frantically brush the matches away before they can burn her. Tex leaves, but the door of the phone box soon opens, to reveal Peter who has come looking for Reggie. He asks what she is doing, and she replies with the "nervous breakdown" line.

Answer: Cary Grant

The third man, Herman Scobie (George Kennedy) is found ransacking Reggie's room when she and Peter return, and fights with Peter, damaging the door of the room with the hook that replaces one of his hands. He leaves through the window, and Peter follows (and we get some new info about the latter). Later, Scobie telephones Reggie with some information that makes her doubt Peter. She contacts Hamilton Bartholomew (Matthau), who suggests that Peter might be after the money too.

Reggie follows Peter to the American Express building and hears him ask for mail under the name of Dyle. While they are conversing in separate phone boxes, Reggie is left hanging because Scobie has forced Peter to go with him. They end up fighting on the roof of the now-closed building, with Scobie slashing Peter's back with his hook, but eventually losing his footing and sliding down a sloping roof to dangle over the edge by his hook.

When asked where Herman is, Peter (now known as Alexander Dyle), delivers this line.

Answer: Thomas Chelimsky

Little Jean-Louis (Chelimsky) has fallen into the hands of Tex, Gideon and Scobie (who has survived his adventure on the roof), and asks this question of Tex, while waiting for Reggie and Alex to come to his rescue. The adults, who all have rooms in the same hotel, agree to search each other's rooms for the money, in case anybody is holding out on the others. Reggie and Jean-Louis go together to search Scobie's room.

Answer: James Coburn

Reggie asks the little boy where he would hide something, if he had to hide it in Scobie's hotel room. Jean-Louis thinks a moment, then points to the top of a wardrobe saying "Up there!". When Reggie checks, she finds something and the lad runs down the hall crying "We won! We won!" Tex, Gideon and Alex come running, but Reggie is reluctant to share her find. When she does, Tex utters these words in a tone of disgust. The case contains only Scobie's spare hook.

At this point they notice that Herman hasn't arrived with the rest of them.

Answer: Jacques Marin

Inspector Grandpierre (Marin) is commenting on the condition of Scobie's body when discovered next morning by a maid. In reality Scobie has drowned in the bathtub in Alex's room during the search, and the others have staged the body to appear as if he has died in bed.

The first body to be found in his pajamas is Charles, who was thus clad when thrown from the train. Not long after, Gideon is also found in his pajamas, dead in the hotel elevator.

Answer: Cary Grant

Reggie is trying to get Alex, who wants a bath, to use the shower in her room instead. She is feeling romantic and a bit scared, and doesn't want him to leave her. She screams to get him to run to her rescue, then locks and guards the door between their rooms. Alex marches into the shower, fully clothed, except for his shoes, and makes this remark as he lathers his suit and belt and gives a rather silly running commentary about the suit's manufacturers insisting that wearing the suit during washing is good for it. Eventually, Reggie closes the door and answers her phone which is ringing.

Answer: Walter Matthau

Alexander Dyle is supposedly the brother of Carson Dyle, who had been in on the original theft of the money with Tex, Gideon and Scobie during World War II. Bartholomew telephones Reggie with this disturbing information while Alex (Peter?) is showering in her bathroom.

He emerges to find a much subdued Reggie, and suggests they go somewhere for a meal to cheer her up. Their chosen restaurant is aboard a boat on the Seine. While waiting for their food, Reggie repeats this line to him. He admits to the ruse, and tells her that he is really a thief named Adam Canfield.

He also admits that though the money is his main objective, he has romantic feelings for Reggie, as she does for him.

Answer: Audrey Hepburn

Adam and Reggie decide they must have overlooked something in Charles' belongings that the police gave her after his death. One of the items is a container of tooth powder, and Reggie wonders if Adam could recognize heroin by its taste. He rubs some on his teeth, then quips "Heroin! Mint-flavoured heroin!" It's another dead end, like the passports, steamship ticket, comb, letter and other items in Charles' bag. Later, when Reggie is at work as a translator, they realise that a diary is missing from the bag, and that Charles' last appointment was almost exactly one week earlier. They dash off to see if they can discover who he met. When they arrive, they see that Tex has had the same idea.

Tex and Adam both realise what must have happened, at nearly the same time. Both hurry to return to Reggie's hotel room.

Answer: Cary Grant

Pointing a gun at Tex, Adam demands to know where the letter that was in the bag is, as both now know that Charles must have converted the money into rare stamps, at the weekly stamp fair where they have just been. Tex laughs and supposes that Reggie has fooled them all, showing Adam the torn envelope with the stamps removed.

Answer: Thomas Chelimsky

Tex is wrong about Reggie fooling them, as she has given the stamps from the letter to Jean-Louis for his collection. When Reggie sees Sylvie waiting for the boy, she realises that the stamps are what they have been looking for all along, and the two women hurry to find the youngster. When they do he has already traded the stamps, and M. Felix has closed his stand at the fair.

Answer: Paul Bonifas

Monsieur Felix is not a thief, and when Reggie, Sylvie and Jean-Louis come to his shop he lovingly describes the three rare stamps, saying that their monetary value is unimportant. Reggie assures him that it is, and is told that altogether they are worth about a quarter of a million dollars. They pay M. Felix a few francs for the large packet he has given Jean-Louis in trade, and retrieve the rare stamps.

Meanwhile, Tex is lying dead in the hotel. Reggie thinks Adam is the killer, because Tex wrote DYLE in the dust (the name by which he knows Adam). She contacts Bartholomew and heads for their meeting with Adam following. When the three of them end up at the meeting together, we find out who Bartholomew really is, and that Adam is really the good guy. At the very end it is revealed that Adam is actually Brian Cruikshank, an embassy official. He offers to prove this to Reggie by putting it on the marriage license. She hopes they have lots of boys so they can name them all after him.
