Serio...Excuse me while I go watch this again... :)<br /><br />Seriously, I forgot how funny this film is!!! And I love their house!! I'm always taking screenshots of movie houses!! <br /><br />Cary really is the only one who could "date" Shirley and not make it look creepy. It's funny how horrible some movies sound in a synopsis. <br /><br />Thanks so much for contributing this wonderful post for the Blogathon!!!Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08726532398377237606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876641009668994417.post-81546303276113628082016-12-04T15:13:53.773-05:002016-12-04T15:13:53.773-05:00Thank you!

That being said, Shirley does a fine job. I think this might have been her best role/film from the non-child star part of her filmography.Michaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06595610476583704014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876641009668994417.post-41808277592391663192016-12-04T08:00:05.213-05:002016-12-04T08:00:05.213-05:00When I first heard of this film, I thought, "...When I first heard of this film, I thought, "Ick", like you had pointed out in your introduction. But I quickly fell in love with it. Such a funny script and superior performances. The casting is spot on! I adore Shirley Temple in this role – she can really hold her own against Cary Grant.<br /><br />Thanks for this delightful review. You've made me want to see this again.Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876641009668994417.post-38132222024180193522016-12-03T00:56:55.754-05:002016-12-03T00:56:55.754-05:00Thanks for returning the comment!

I laughed so, so, so hard when Richard spots Susan in his apartment. And that "mellow greetings, yukey dukey!" is perfect too. And that shining armor scene...I'll have to find gifs of that one too.

The script is so very funny, but you are right in that it takes the talents of specific actors to really bring it to life, and in as winning a way as they do here.

I was always impressed with how the concept never came off creepy or uncomfortable-- when it could have very easily. Proof that Cary Grant and Myrna Loy bring sophistication to any possible scenario.
