This is my favourite film. Remember watching it as a kid with Mum in the midday slot on weekday television. Brilliant screenplay, ensemble acting, and dialogue. These people really knew how to make a movie. Incredible that it's out of copyright.

One of the best written films ever a great comedy, starring the fabulous Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell. The banter between these two is unsurpassed as far as quick wit dialog. One of my favorite comedy's of all time!! Everyone should enjoy this movie, a movie that never gets old.
