A classic comedy I hadn't seen.
I must have been more tolerant and open of sensibility when I was in my early twenties, because I delighted back then in more than one Katharine Hepburn movie (Holiday, Morning Glory) and in at least one one Jimmy Stewart movie (It's a Wonderful World). Now I find myself finding the voice of each annoying and affected, their temperaments grumpy; Hepburn seems too bullying, Stewart too resentful and sullen, as if he's not enjoying himself on any level. Not that they aren't great and all. I found this movie funny and fun, but somewhat in spite of two out of three of its big stars. Cary Grant never seems to fail for me, except in Charade.
