not that i'm a pervert or anything (yes i am) but the first thing i'm gonna mention is how stunning marilyn looked here. aside from that it was a screwy slapstick kinda comedy that worked to an extent. some parts were just ... really... silly? charles coburn was good!
Different from what I expected. It was still pretty funny but Marilyn Monroe was hardly in it at all (but the parts she were in were hilarious). I think I like it better when she is the main character, the jokes tend to be a little more off the wall that way.
Always think of Fred Astair when thinking of Ginger Rogers? Think again! She was great on her own and a perfect match with Cary Grant. One word describes the nature of their character. Distinguished! It's amazing that these two didn't clash but worked so well together.
Humor is a bit immature in this one, but I still liked it. Actually, I'm a bit indifferent when it comes to this film.
good comedy show but could have been better. still a good laugh with this film.
