Once Upon a Time

I never even got to see the fking caterpillar

Silly premise, but I really enjoyed this one! Another Cary Grant to check off my list too!

Doesn't utilize Cary Grant charms well enough, and the story was never very compelling. Otherwise it's a quality production. It just struggles to connect it's characters with a suitable plot.

Grant plays a struggling theater producer who tries to revive his career with a child's pet, a caterpillar who dances whenever the song "Yes Sir That's My Baby" is played. It has a touch of farce to it, but none of the energy or snappy dialogue needed to make it come alive. Instead it's just a series of scenes of Grant desperately trying to convince people that this dinky rhythmic critter is a surefire superstar all leading up to a pat lesson about a child's trust. It's daffy and dopey and dull.
