What Does The Score "4.5" Mean? Good: Left a unique impression on me. Excellent directing, cinematography, and/or writing.

This is a phenomenal movie, full of first-rate intrigue, false identities and double-crossing. Cary Grant gives a excellent performance; we are never sure until the very end where his loyalties lie, or even who his character really is. An Audrey Hepburn gives a perfect portrayal of an uncertain yet brave woman who is not just a 21st-century "strong female character."
