This is one of the greatest movies ever made. There
isn't a single bad part in the entire thing. The
actors were absolutely fantastic, as was the directing
Cast: Raymond Massey, Cary Grant, Jack Carson,
Edward Everett Horton, Priscilla Lane.
How come no one mentions Peter Lorre?
Hey FRiend! I’m sorry but I didn’t see it in the theater when it was released. I saw it on a local channel, one of the Movie time slots - remember Popcorn Movies? The Late Late Show? Or the Saturday Afternoon Movies? It was one of them or another one, sometime around 1968.
That said, I just loved reading your reply and how descriptive your words are! Rationing during war time must have been difficult, yet Patriotic. “All pull together”. THAT is a nation.
Things I miss from my own childhood include being hot in the summer with the shades all pulled down, and the house dark and mysterious, and the living room fan blowing the only breeze. And at night all the neighbors come out to the front stoops, and everyone’s windows open so you could hear what they were watching on television.
My favorite. Ben Mankiewicz at TCM, in so many words, called IHON the best romantic comedy ever. I agree.
I don't know. Peter Lorre was still circulating when the war ended, but not long after, I think.
Fact is, we've got so much an accumulation of movie and TV personalities now to remember than we did then, don't we? And most of us that were alive before the Korean War ended have now passed away, I suppose. Or we've entered a stage of forgetting because those age-old details don't appear very much in ordinary conversations anymore.
Or for other reasons that I don't recall . . .
It’s one of my favorite films. I own a copy and watch it every time its on TV I was fortunate when they made a new print to make the Blue Ray disk I got to see it in a the old style theater with a really high quality screen, sound system and the Alex Theater with about 1,500 other people. The audience response made the movie even funnier.
The funniest movie I’ve ever seen.
