A fine light comedy, with unexpected passages of seriousness, marked by the Donen touch in its adventurous visuals and vivacious performances.

A beguiling love story delicately deranged by the complications of sophisticated comedy, Indiscreet is an expert film version of Norman Krasna's 1953 stage play, Kind Sir.
Variety Staff, Variety
Fresh
A thin but impishly gay and enchanting film.
A.H. Weiler, New York Times
Fresh
Here the New York setting gave way to Mayfair, and Donen piled on the civilised charm.
Paul Taylor, Time Out
Fresh
A funny, freewheeling version of Broadway's Kind Sir.
