Decent Light Comedy
31 January 2007
Cary Grant's last film is in many ways a typical Grant performance. He does light romantic comedy in this 1 more time. The supporting cast is OK with the late Jim Hutton being the most talented.

The film itself is amusing but kind of rough around it's edges. I am not sure why, but the pace of this film doesn't feel entirely right. Maybe it has to do with Grants advancing age or maybe the Director was trying something new which just doesn't work all the time.

Whatever it is, the chemistry between the actors & actresses suffer & it shows in the film. Granted, this is not supposed to be art though this role for Grant is pretty much typical of his other films. There are a few decent laughs in this one & if you like Cary Grant, enough here to watch.

Don't mistake it with his classic work like in the film North By NorthWest. Call this one way far east.
