Liam D The grandfather of all screwball comedies and rightfully so Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review julie b Quick wit. Quick talkers. Quick pace!! Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell are a perfect pairing of equals in charm & humor. This is very multi genre - romance, comedy, thriller, satire, political drama, crime drama - yet it works, and packs in some solid criticism of ethics in journalism, politics, and police in its fun little package. Kind of sad for Bruce who’s very much an aw-shucks kind of guy :( Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/27/24 Full Review helder f It’s an eventful movie that’s perhaps a bit too loaded with words, where almost everything is said and very little is implied or let for the viewer to deduce. I can hardly think of a movie with as many words per minute particularly when Grant takes part of a scene. As eventful as the movie might be, nothing feels genuine perhaps because everything is hasty Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Jeff M This is a witty, highly enjoyable comedy that has more smiles than out-and-out laughs - but the smiles are definitely aplenty! And although the entire cast is aces, Russell is downright sensational as the sassy, headstrong reporter torn between her ex-husband, her fiancée and her love of finding the news that is fit to print. I know the rapid-fire rat-a-tat-tat delivery of the dialogue was quite common at this time, and at times it does indeed add some humor to the proceedings. That being said, and maybe this is my age talking, I occasionally find myself having trouble keeping up. In fact, I had to rewind a couple scenes to make sure I caught everything. And those of us who use subtitles are a big exhausted by the end. Grant and Russell have a wonderful rapport together, and the main pleasure here is watching their back-and-forth with one another. I can't quite put it on a pedestal with the likes of BRINGING UP BABY, but it is a wonderfully good time! And, again, Russell stands head and shoulder pads above everyone else! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/24 Full Review Alec B Fast talking screwball antics and cynicism abound so it's right up my alley. Russell is great and I'll always be impressed by how Grant can make the biggest cads still seem charming as hell. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/13/23 Full Review Brett A Falls flat. We watched this movie as we loved Grant in Arsenic and Old Lace and this showed up as #17 on some top 100 of all time movie list. Madcap yes but not at all funny. Hard pass.
