Indiscreet
Starring: Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman, Cecil Parker
Director: Stanley Donen
Writer: Norman Krasna
Producer: Stanley Donen
Indiscreet is a 1958 British romantic comedy film produced and directed by Stanley Donen, and starring Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant. The film is based on the 1954 play Kind Sir by Norman Krasna. This was Bergman and Grant's second film appearance together, the other being Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious (1946). It was one of the first films to popularize the artistic use of split screen.
Trivia
- No film studio sought the rights to the play Kind Sir, so Norman Krasna's co-producers – Joshua Logan, Mary Martin, and Charles Boyer – agreed to Krasna's offer to buy the rights himself for $10,000.
- Krasna did not tell his fellow producers he had lined up Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman to star in a film.
- In March 1955 United Artists announced Krasna would direct a film version for that studio.
Filming Locations
- Donen agreed "but only with Cary." Grant agreed but only if his co-star was Ingrid Bergman (the two had last acted together in Notorious [1946]). Bergman agreed provided the film could be shot in England; she had a theatre commitment in Paris.
- Scenes in the Players' Club were filmed at the Garrick Club in London.
