Hard to argue. I finished the Netflix DVD last night. I noticed that the Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell characters have a dynamic similar to that of Grant and Katherine Hepburn in a movie to be released at the end of this year - "The Philadelphia Story." The recently ditched husband deviously trying to win back the ex while ostensibly not interested. Come to think of it, it is also similar to 1938's "The Awful Truth." Divorce is often a story element in movies from this era. "The Women" is another obvious example. Was divorce a novelty at the time? Maybe it had recently become more socially acceptable.
Next up on my Netflix queue: "Invisible Stripes."
