Famous theater actress Anna Kalman (Ingrid Bergman) has resigned herself to her single life, believing that she has missed her chance at meeting a husband. Weary of socializing in Europe, she returns to her London flat, where her sister Margaret (Phyllis Calvert) and diplomat brother-in-law Alfred (Cecil Parker) invite her to a banquet. She demurs until Alfred's banker friend, Philip Adams (Cary Grant), arrives and a flirtation begins. Their romance blossoms -- but he's already married.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Indiscreet spins rom-com gold out of a premise just sturdy enough to set the stage for typically delightful work from its wonderfully well-matched leads.

We are never unsure about how Indiscreet will end, but the way it gets there -- lightly, cleverly, at a pace and with a rhythm that is closer to a foxtrot than a sprint -- makes the exercise worthwhile. Go to Full Review Katy Noviello Los Angeles Times 01/25/2019
"Indiscreet" is short on plot but more than makes up for it in style. Go to Full Review Dave Kehr Chicago Reader 08/19/2014
A fine light comedy, with unexpected passages of seriousness, marked by the Donen touch in its adventurous visuals and vivacious performances. Go to Full Review Jordi Batlle Caminal El Pais (Spain) 01/25/2019
Kind Sir- builds a warm work that thanks to a precise, methodical arrangement of framing, planning and narrative cadence, breaks its theatrical structure to offer itself eminently cinematographic. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Ted Boynton Pajiba 01/25/2019
More's to the point, however, Indiscreet simply proves yet again that great acting, crackling writing and deft direction never go out of style. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Farah R. @Farah Feb 21 With great chemistry from its household leads, Indiscreet is a hilarious and very entertaining romantic comedy. See more Bradley H @Bradleyh Jan 9 Lacklustre & Tedious Attracted by the 100% score but was disappointed. Dialogue was tedious. So called ‘chemistry’ non existent. Annoyingly cast members had lost their mid Atlantic accents and adopted some American pronunciation - for last, fast, past. Why? Watch a Hawkes screwball for Grant in his prime such as Bringing Up Baby. Suspicion is Grant & Bergman at their best. See more Lanfranco C @Lanfrancobz Oct 28 An old romantic comedy, that still works, maybe... See more Mikael H @Mikael590 Jun 9 It’s third act charmingly makes up for its empty middle. See more cem y @cmyldz23 02/28/2022 It was very entertaining, and it could watched solely for the charm and beauty of Ingrid Bergman who really shines with this character. However, I think the story is too weak and it results in a kind of stretched production which lacks some things to put but still enjoys being a feature movie. See more s r @ScottR 12/21/2021 This started good, then took a turn for the childish with the plot twist. I lost interest, but stuck with it until the end. Saw it on TCM. See more Read all reviews
