...To actually catch Cary Grant acting! It only happens a couple of times and really does make you realize how amazing a performer the man was.
Benita Hume, longtime wife and sometime co-star of Ronald Colman, plays a moll with a golden heart. The roles are cookie cutter even for this early date, and we've already seen Cagney and Harlow burn down the screen in 1931's "The Public Enemy," but it's great seeing Grant working outside of his own preference of romantic comedy. He should have done more of it; his career would be looked at differently if he had racked up some awards for drama.... people who think the academy awards have declined recently should investigate Cary Grant, because his career shows how absurd the academy usually is.
Two directors; both a complete waste of time. One hopes they didn't get paid but instead the money went to Grant and Hume. Glenda Farrell is wasted here, in a role that is far beneath her.
Still, it's a fun movie and definitely worth a look.
