The romantic comedy that made Cary Grant a star. Nominated for 5 Oscars, winner of best Director, part of the National Film Registry, in the top 50 of the AFI 100 Laughs, and also on the AFI 100 Passions [e.g. love stories].Irene Dunne is billed at the headline here but it is considered by some to be Grant's breakthrough performance. Coming in an age where you could only allude to mistresses and cheating on wives, the premise is that a married couple, Dunne and Grant, decide to get divorced when they catch each other lying. Alluding to both of them cheating. The antics begin when they are forced to interact in the period before the divorce becomes legal. Both are courting others, Dunne a man from Oklahoma, and Grant a rich heiress. They foil each others chances, and soon fall in love all over again.
Sorry to ruin the story for you, but having seen so many romantic comedies, this one really defined a new genre and is so very popular today. Having seen so many similar it does take away from the original. I probably would have liked it more if I hadn't seen it remade or reinvented so many times over. All in all it was a really good Cary Grant film.
Vote: 7/10
