Boy, I'm completely blank on this!

Hint 2: It took a philatelist to find the hidden treasure.

From blank to solved. Nicely done.

 

[emwolf]

Well, let's keep it connected to Charade,
Devlish US agent seduces boozy floozy with a checkered family past and then forces her into marriage with a winey mama's boy foreign agent.

No guesses? As I said, it's connected to Charade---but how? One major star shares credit with this movie and Charade, but if you were to ask Stanley Donen, I believe he would say he drew some inspiration from this movie's director as well.

I saw this clue too soon. Now I have to bite my tongue for a while to give someone else a chance.
