What a little gem

selffamily

How could I have lived so long and never come across this gem of a movie before? I found it in a bargain box of dvds, (shame)and bought it because of the names and the price. Well, what a find! I sat down to watch for the first time a couple of nights ago and was glued to the spot. Charming, light hearted and entertaining were my first impressions, but a few laugh out loud moments were soon added. I did get a bit frustrated that she didn't just dump or thump him and start again as a modern woman would have done, but hey, he IS Cary Grant and it WAS 50 years ago.

Lovely, lovely movie, not a dull moment - recommend this to anyone who enjoys the above mentioned qualities. Ingrid Bergman, Cary Grant et al - no duds there, not to mention the star quality of London by night.

Those misery guts who hate it have to bear in mind that it was a daring movie for its time, and it was never meant to be deep and profound. It's fun, and well done fun at that.

score 9/10
