Throughout September I will be raiding my collection of favourite movies to review one a day, with a focus on overlooked and underappreciated films.
Where to find it: Rent on Amazon
Length: 95 minutes
Synopsis: Charming classic romcom
Recommendation rating: 3/5
What I like about it: fast-paced ‘screwball’ dialogue, that Grant/Hepburn chemistry
What I don’t like about it: it’s not much more than a transient Sunday afternoon movie
Review:
Cary Grant plays a free-wheeling young man who meets a snooty heiress and enters into a hasty engagement. She is captivated by his charm but believes she can change him by getting him a job with daddy as an executive, a fate worse than death for fun-loving Grant. Luckily, the heiress has a sister, Katharine Hepburn, who likes him just the way he is.
