Cary Grant is a confirmed bachelor who gets married on Halloween. However, instead of a honeymoon, he faces a full moon of murder, insanity and hilarious 'auntics.' Blink and you'll miss a reason to laugh.
I LOVE all the verbal play - there are so many hilarious quotes, also the facial expressions. One of my favorites is when Mortimer questions Aunt Abby about the corpse inhabiting her windowbox and she is intently studying the "imposter" as she innocently exclaims: "Who can that be?"
The whole Teddy Roosevelt routine was so funny! "Charge!" Slam! Choing!, and his expressions at the end, "Is he trying to move in before I leave office?" "Who?" "Taft!" ...or Mortimer sitting on the steps with the gag still around his neck, violent chaos surrounding him, but so exhausted that all he does is light up a cigarette and make droll comments such as, "Ah - don't do that. It never works...oh, well, what d'ya know. It worked."
A line that never fails to draw a laugh, "Darlings, you can't just go around killing people...It's not a nice thing to do!" "12?!!! This is becoming a *VERY**BAD**HABIT*!"
And of course, "Darling, would you want to have children with three heads? Well, what I mean is...insanity runs in my family...practically gallops."
How long I could go on...
