A good movie

I already saw this movie but it was ages ago and I didn’t remember it at all so I thought I might as well check it out again. Well, I’m glad I gave it a 2^nd chance since I was much more able to enjoy this time around. Indeed, first of all, I have to admit that I have never been a huge fan of such classic screwball comedies, in fact, it was probably the first one I have ever saw almost 20 years ago which might explain why I didn’t connect with the damned thing at first. Anyway, sure, it is actually a really silly story but that’s why it’s actually quite fun because no one involved actually took the damned thing seriously. The cast was also pitch-perfect (Cary Grant, Ginger Rogers, Marilyn Monroe). Sure, you might argue that Grant was maybe not really convincing as a super smart scientist and, in fact, I think that Rogers actually stole the show here. Indeed, she was actually the most convincing of the two playing not only a caring housewife but also a hyperactive teenager and a mischievous young kid. Concerning Marilyn Monroe, she was not yet a super star but she was soon going to be and she was playing here her usual brainless pin-up but it was exactly what was needed here. Another thing that I enjoyed with this movie was that the fact that it was not dealing with a couple who was supposed to fall in love after the usual shenanigans, it was actually dealing with a strong stable couple which was just quite refreshing and I think that Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers had some really nice chemistry. Anyway, to conclude, even though it is not remembered as one of the best screwball comedies, I thought it was quite entertaining and it is definitely worth a look.
