There’s something about a screwball comedy, or at least the kind where the characters speak so quickly that the audience needs to strain to keep up, with this dialogue combined with broadly comic situations and all kinds of physical comedy, and characters who we care about that, taken all together, make for a very satisfying movie. The dog scenes are my favorite ever. Physically, Cary Grant is like a fire cracker about to go off--and then he does. The fact that much of the movie apparently was improvised makes the movie seem almost miraculous. One of my favorite surprises to come out of this catching-up-on-movies-via-Netflix process. And I had never even heard of it.
