Cary Grant's last film is witty and satisfying. This is definately not a plot driven movie, as story development is in sparse chunks here and there and then packed into the end. That's okay. It relied on its well timed gags and chemistry between Eggar and Grant. Which reminds me, I must thank this movie's casting department for introducing me to Samantha Eggar.
You can't talk about this movie without talking about Cary Grant and he was as always brilliant. I though Jim Hutton gave one of his best performances, he really played off of Grant well. There comedic timing seemed to meld. While not up to the par of Grant's earlier work, still a fun, cute film to watch.
It's hard to believe this was Grant's last film, how could he retire from giving us performances this good? As for the film itself, it really still is fun after all these years.
I've never seen Cary Grant's last film, so I'm hoping I can find this one soon. I'm not sure why I'm such a big fan of his... He's talented and classy, and has starred in some of my favourite films. Anyway, I look forward to seeing this one!
Who knew they could make a good screwball comedy in the '60's? Nobody made those by that time. But still, this movie was made, and I am shocked that more people haven't heard of it or seen it, because it is fantastic. Cary Grant sure picked a great last movie!
