cary grant can't get laid

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!

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

Andrew Sarris once wrote fondly of Howard Hawks' "urge to entertain," and such an urge is on show throughout his screwball collaborations with Cary Grant -- films that represent a perfect marriage of comedic sensibilities. I Was a Male War Bride is another Hawks/Grant film that goes beyond the goofiness of its central idea to combine passion and laughter into another screwball delight that oozes its director's distinct personality. It's no His Girl Friday but about as fun as Bringing Up Baby.

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

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.

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.

I like this movie because it's really difficult for Cary Grant to get it in, and Ann Sheridan has a nice laugh.
