kennetpon T @Bulldogreviews Dec 24 Funny and lots of fun. Hitchcock should have made more comedies See more aya t @ayaueta Dec 15 hmmm, why such low reviews? from this great screwbal comedy. were people disappointed expecting much more suspense from hitchcock, the master of suspense like his other films or like the 2005 assassin movie w' brad pitt n angelina jolie or the new 2024 spy tv show w' Maya Erskine n donald glover? only other comedy he made was, the trouble with harry, which had more suspense. Carole lombard was the queen of screwball, but who died young while traveling on plane selling warbond. Rip.

Good clean cynical sarcasm and humor are right up my alley! Also, I couldn't get enough of the great 1940s wardrobes and settings👍🏼 See more david b a @RT25449522 08/21/2021 I don't think my expectations are extreme when it comes to comedy, but this movie basically falls flat, is how I would put it. To be more specific as to why, here are three reasons: 1) the humor is not very funny; this is first and foremost a failure of the script and plot line 2) Robert Montgomery seems stiff and somewhat uninvolved. I understand that Cary Grant was the first choice for the part, and indeed he would have brought more energy and dare I say, creativity, to the role 3) the story lacks credibility, and seems to wander a great deal. There are many elements with the potential to be side-splitters, but none are taken advantage of, and then the next comes along, and the next, and the next. I gave this 2 1/2 (not 1) stars primarily due to an enjoyable, radiant performance by Carole Lombard. Unfortunately, that is not enough to make up for the other lacks in the movie. See more 05/02/2021 About as un-Hitchcockian as he got in his Hollywood period. This is possibly why it's routinely disregarded. It's nowhere near the best of his Hollywood era it's true but it's not his worst either. Naked Gun even borrowed one of the jokes 4 decades later. Probably avoid this film if you only watch Hitchcock films for the suspenseful thrillers. Mildly entertaining and whimsically funny at times. Better than I thought it would be.
