Summary: Captain Henri Rochard is a French officer assigned to work with Lieut. Catherine Gates. Through a wacky series of misadventures, they fall in love and marry. When the war ends, Capt.

As incomprehensible as it is for Cary Grant to have so much trouble getting it on, I loved the crisp dialogue and episodic humor. Extra props for the "We got past the sensors! last-shot sex analogy": The erect Statue of Liberty through a porthole. Zing!

This film is a Cary Grant vehicle meant to show off his trademark acerbic wit but he doesn't click with Ann Sheridan so it feels like you're watching a trainwreck marriage in progress and is quite uncomfortable. On its face I Was A Male War Bride is a screwball influenced comedy but I read it as more of a cautionary tale about committing to a relationship with a person you don't really like just to get in bed with them.

Cary Grant is very funny (in drag and out) and Ann Sheridan--a great straight "man"--seems to have fun watching him be funny too.

Very funny, I really enjoyed watching this movie. Cary Grant is witty, handsome, and silly, too. I loved it.

The witty banter was there but I've never been a fan of the comedic Cary Grant.
