| On my top-ten list for classic Hollywood movies | |
| This 1957 classic is one of the best romantic films I've seen yet... and as someone who has spent a lot of time (too much) searching for the perfect romantic comedy, I know what I'm talking about. My only complaints are that it may be overly dramatic that Kerr's character wouldn't want to tell Grant what happened to her; equally unreasonable is the motivation for Grant's character not looking for Kerr after she disappears. Love is likened to a perfect, spiritual state of being that is not a choice, and in Real Life, the whole drama could have easily been avoided... but then, why make a movie? From an ideological standpoint, the way disability is portrayed is problematic, what with the overcoming-all-the-odds bit, but it was the 50s. The children's musical interludes also drag a bit. However, the development of both the lead characters is phenomenal due to the exquisite acting and the delivery of intelligent, subtle dialogue. The tone is restrained and the dialogue is flippant and a little blasé, but this only serves to clearly convey the emotional truths of the characters - I'm a sucker for this one. | |
| Grab Some Tissues | |
| This is a great example of why Cary Grant was such a great actor. The playboy finally finds one woman to love. Of course, it's not all bliss, hence the need for tissues. But like all beautiful love stories, true love prevails. | |
 Great flick! | |
| I saw this a few weeks ago for the first time, and being the fan of Deborah Kerr that I am I watched it. I was not disappointed in the least. This movie was awesome. Cary Grant and Deborah were great together and the chemistry between them was cool too.
If you like Cary or Deborah then get this flick. You will love it. |
