Hello Dr. What!

..Those days where collections are worth $$ have passed,
it's usually on rare or older issued where the production
run was not as high. One example of that is comic books
and sports cards.

I'm remembering the movie "Charade" with Cary Grant and
Audrey Hepburn.

I just finished watching it in 3 late-night sessions over the
course of a week.

[spoiler]:

It was a cute film. Grant at 59 at the time was obviously having
fun in that role. Hepburn only 34 was still quite a beauty.

The plot has several weaknesses. [1] There is no explanation how
the original $250K in gold "converts" itself into the [cbfgntr
fgnzcf]. I'd be more interested in WHO still has the gold. How
can anyone truly anticipate that something like [cbfgntr fgnzcf]
would even retain value much less increase to $250K over time.
[2] The fake CIA director: security must be really slack at the
American Embassy if an imposter can just walk in and occupy an
office! [3] The kid. His voice didn't seem to fit. It sounded
like it was just dubbed in by an adult trying to sound like a
kid [4] The rooftop action fight scene. At one point Grant is
just hanging by his fingers over the edge. Then a split second
later you see the hooked-hand antagonist flipping backwards
hitting a wall. There is no explanation how Grant got his
footing back on the roof.

In all, the film looked like a charming exercise to pair Grant
and Hepburn into a pseudo thriller trying to be a romantic-
comedy at the same time [1] the shower scene, and [2] the funny
face he makes as the true Embassy official.
