| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonWatching Cary Grant shuffle about like an angry, disheveled bum is funny to a degree that it wouldn't be for virtually any other actor who could have conceivably fit the role. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyOne of Cary Grant's last pictures (he retired 2 years later) is one of his most commercially popular vehicles, with an Oscar-winning script by Peter Stone and Leslie Caron (who's half his age) as love interest. |
| Family Home TheaterJames PlathA fun lightweight adventure, one of the better Cary Grant films, and a darned good "starter" romantic comedy because of all the other distractions and a world that threatens to tear this couple apart before they can even come together. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThough Cary Grant manages to get the most he can from the role, it's not enough to cover up the film's emptiness. |
| User ReviewRobert HOf classic films, this is my absolute favorite. Cary Grant was never better. If you haven't watched this, please do. |
| User ReviewRaquel LCan get you out of even the worst of moods. "I've got me ten fine toes to wiggle in the sand,..." |
| User ReviewShannonandBernie RIf you love oldies. you got to see this one and Operation Pedicoat |
| User ReviewAshley HAnother one of my all-time favorites. Cary Grant is gruff but charming, and Leslie Caron is great. |
| User ReviewSarah NI love this movie it's one of Cary Grants (who kind of has a Gorge Clooney look in this) great slap stick comedys. and I don't think any one could have done a better job then Leslie Caron. |
| User ReviewRebecca SIf you don't mind older movies, this is a great one. |
