Mini-Review: 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.
Mini-Review: Astoundingly inept movie on all fronts.
Mini-Review: Starts out slow but picks up and keeps you drawn in once the introductory sequence is over.
Mini-Review: Cute is the best way to describe this movie. Ann-Margret is cute, Janet Leigh is cute, Bobby Rydell is cute, the songs and dances are cute. Not a bad watch if you like musicals.
Mini-Review: The scene that sticks with me the most is when General Turgidson informs the President of the situation and the President just stares at him with a "You're joking" face.
It's Sellers' film, really, and I know Kubrick tricked George C Scott into it but the performance he gave as Turgidson but it is really amazing.
Mini-Review: Watching this film I wanted to jump into the movie and help the zombies exterminate the cast.
Mini-Review: Veronica Lake is dazzling, Frederic March is charming and Rene Clair does interesting things with the medium at times. A fun romp, candy bar type fluff.
