This movie fell into the public domain, as soon as it was released, as absolutely no claim of copyright was put into the original prints.
Original prints may be in the public domain but the elements they were made from, (negatives, soundtracks and so on) may still be protected or at least highly disputable. One may need to prove that a given copy truly traces back to an original print which was released without a copyright claim in order to assert public domain on that copy. Moreover, the music is still likely under separate copyright, making it possible to impede distribution of a copy with an intact soundtrack. Oh and finally, Stone's original screenplay and novelisation are almost certainly still copyrighted, which could make it illegal to re-distribute the work without that copyright holder's permission.

Actually, while copyright notices were required, under later law (effected to meet treaty obligations) at least some copyrights lost for lack of notices can be recovered. The copyright for The Lord of the Rings was recovered in this manner. So why, then, hasn't the Charade copyright been likewise recovered? or has it? — SlamDiego ←T 07:40, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

The previous version of the description stated that Cary Grant's character (let's call him Peter Joshua) is revealed to be working for the CIA at the end of the movie. While that is certainly one possible interpretation, another is that Joshua (who we may presume is a professional conman and criminal) assumes the identity of the CIA official in a final bid to get hold of the stamps. He seems to dictate a memo to his secretary in order to prove his authenticity, but this too could be an illusion. The movie allows both possibilities, so I have reworded the description to say that Audrey Hepburn's character finds Joshua behind the official's desk, without affirming that he is a genuine official.

Codswallop, the Marine clearly says Crookshank works for the treasury department and his secretary admits Reggie to his office. Gwen Gale 04:45, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
The present version of the article states in the introduction: "It spans several genres including suspense thriller, romance, and comedy." The use of the word "including" implies that the movie belongs to other genres, not only those three. So what are they? Moreover, "romantic comedy" is really one genre -- at least it has become one, maybe in the 1960s the romantic comedy genre didn't exist; it's hard to tell from the article romantic comedy film. In any event, the word "several" suggests more than three. -- Mathew5000 00:29, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Image:Charade movieposter.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

...because the ref didn't support the content (that I could find), but also because I literally couldn't understand what the paragraph is saying. If someone knows what it's supposed to say, please re-write it and restore.
The movie was said to be an attempt by the studio to unite the popular stars onscreen. Grant had previously been offered a role opposite Hepburn in Roman Holiday, but had turned it down because he felt he was too old to play her love interest. The role eventually went to Gregory Peck. Grant finally agreed to take the role, but in order to play down the 25-year age difference between them, he insisted that Hepburn's character be made the aggressor in the relationship. The chemistry between Grant and Hepburn, as well as Grant's continuing success as a sex symbol despite his advanced age, have made many critics state that having Grant pursue Hepburn in Roman Holiday not only would have been plausible, it would have been even more perfect than the talented Peck in the role.

I didn't read the synopsis and didn't know Hamilton Bartholomew was the real Carson Dyle until the cast section ruined the twist for me. Somebody should edit out the spoiler. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.162.132.255 ( talk) 07:10, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
In the bottom half of the synopsis a character named Adam is referred to. No explanation regarding who he is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:200:4200:5A40:C5E4:F2F4:3FA2:DD7E ( talk) 01:15, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
The article says "The film remains fully protected by copyright outside the U.S." with no citation. Today (Sep. 4 2021) Swiss TV started a series using this movie but changing the soundtrack, with the argument it was free of copyright. I assume their lawyers know what they are doing. https://www.rts.ch/play/tv/redirect/detail/12467094?startTime=1613 Pkoppenb ( talk) 20:40, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
