Another of the "they don't make 'em like that anymore" films of the 40s, this screwball comedy has a wacko plot, dozens of non sequitur comments, and a high-octane cast -- and somehow, even with the improbable ending, it's a terrific film with dozens of quotable lines. I loved watching Grant ("like Lee and Grant") try not to crack up when talking with a drunk Stewart, but Hepburn steals the show.

Well made, but not especially interesting romantic comedy is really just a showcase for its stars, who deliver the goods in a rather predictable fashion. I've never been totally convinced of Grant's comic skills, and while he has a few amusing exchanges with Hepburn, they aren't nearly as fun to watch as they are in Bringing Up Baby, which is also quite overrated, although less so than this. Cukor's direction is adequate, if undistinguished.

Bereft of pathos or humor. Characters aren't very interesting, and consequently the movie becomes sort of unpleasant to watch.
