Watch: Indiscreet 1958 123movies, Full Movie Online – Anna Kalman is a London-based actress. She has been unable to find love in her life. The reason why she came home early from a vacation to Majorca fits into that theme, as the man she met there and was initially attracted to ended up not being who she thought he was as a man. Upon her arrival home, she meets the suave Philip Adams, a financier who is a work acquaintance of her brother-in-law, diplomat Alfred Munson. Philip initially states that there is no Mrs. Adams in his life. But when Anna later asks him out, he clarifies that statement in that there is no Mrs. Adams in London, as she is at home in San Francisco. Regardless, Anna decides still to ask him on the date she had intended to the ballet. He accepts, letting her know that whatever happens between the two of them that he will never be able to leave his wife. As time goes on, the two fall in love, their happiness which can only be sustained as long as Philip has his Paris-based contract with NATO. So, when Philip announces that he is being transferred to New York for five months, Anna comes to the realization that she truly cannot live without him and wants to marry him. Shortly thereafter, Anna learns something about Philip’s background, which not only threatens their relationship, but leads to a night that Anna wants to give him that he will never forget, and not in a good way. But the best laid plans may have a bumpy road to being executed effectively..
Plot: Anna Kalman is an accomplished actress who has given up hope of finding the man of her dreams. She is in the middle of taking off her face cream, while talking about this subject with her sister, when in walks Philip Adams. She loses her concentration for a moment as she realizes that this is the charming, smart, and handsome man she has been waiting for.

Oh, I tell you. Women are not the sensitive sex. That’s one of the grand delusions of literature. Men are the true romanticists.
Out of Warner Brothers, Indiscreet is directed by Stanley Donen and stars Ingrid Bergman & Cary Grant, with support coming from Cecil Parker, Phyllis Calvert, David Kossoff & Megs Jenkins. It is based on the play “Kind Sir” written by Norman Krasna. Plot sees Bergman as Anna Kalman, an accomplished actress who can’t believe her luck when she finally meets the man of her dreams, Philip Adams (Grant). However, Phillip is keeping a secret, a secret that Anna finds out about and promptly sets about getting even with him for.Indiscreet is a very simple movie. Grant and Bergman re-team again 12 years after making Notorious with Alfred Hitchcock. Their chemistry is again sparkling and Donen utilises it to the maximum by naturally building the film around the charismatic stars. There’s no hidden agendas here, the movie knows it is breezy and understands that good writing (edgy at times) and two comfortable actors can make for good entertainment. It starts off slow, but the character build up pays off once Grant & Bergman start their romance, in fact the comedy is indeed thin on the ground for the first half of the film. But once the secret at the core of the plot is out, the comedy kicks into gear, with a dancing party sequence joyous and alone is worth watching the film for.
Also note worthy is the London location which provides a fitting back drop to the well mannered, well to do, coupling of Anna & Phillip. While the costumes too are pleasing and hang nicely off of the two aesthetically safe-in middle-age actors. It’s no screwball, far from it, so any expectation of that will surely disappoint newcomers. And true to say it’s very old fashioned and of its time as regards its romantic ideals. But that’s OK, we like light hearted well written comedy, especially when it’s performed as smooth as it is here. 7/10
While clever, it’s hard to really like Grant or Bergman in this film
This film was a pretty big risk for Ingrid Bergman to take. About a decade earlier, her very public affair with Roberto Rossellini temporarily damaged her career. Because of this, it seems pretty surprising that in this film she’d play a woman who knowingly has an affair with a supposedly married man. Oddly, however, despite this being an affair, the film seems to imply that they never get around to actually committing adultery! They spend lots of time together and whisper sweet nothings to each other, but their relationship seems sex-less! I’m sure this would have been handled very differently if it were made today.As for the rest of the film, it tries very hard to be a romance–with excellent music and cinematography to set the mood. The problem is for me, adultery (or “near-adultry” like in this film) is a MAJOR turnoff! You can’t get past the fact that Ingrid and Cary seem like very selfish people. Later, however, in a very, very bizarre plot twist, you find out that there is a lot more to the affair than meets the eye. What exactly this is and how the film then becomes a bit more of a romantic-comedy is just something you’ll have to see for yourself.
The bottom line is that this is a pretty agreeable time-passer but also NOT one of the stars’ better films. Call me old fashioned (which I am), but selfish and slutty appearing behavior is not compatible with romance.
