Title: The 1 Star is for The Truth About Charlie Not Charade!
Review: I bought this DVD but only for an inexpensive way to get a nice widescreen version of Charade because that classic is included on the B side of the disc and because I can't afford to buy the Criterion Charade DVD. In all honesty The Truth About Charlie is a horrendous movie and I think the director was trying too hard to make some kind of artsy French movie but wound up making a pretentious artsy fartsy mess instead. The director said he let The French camera crew do what they wanted to do and let the American crew do it their way but did he tell them to make sure it all came together flawlessy in the end? apparently not and it showed as this movie was very uneven and disjointed! Watch the original instead or watch an actual French movie that this movie is trying to imitate! Charade should have been on the A side f the disc with exta features and The Truth About Charlie on the B side.
