One of my favorite films. McCarey won the best director Oscar, Dunne and Bellamy were both nominated, and Grant became a top Hollywood star.

We forget how great Granny Clampet (Irene Dunne) looked in her prime.

Granny Clampett was played by Irene Ryan, not Irene Dunne.

This movie is out of sync on You Tube with the audio and video. I’ve tried it on two different browsers and two different computers, so it’s not on my end. Bummer.
