Listonixio Fresh and Exciting

Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

captgeoslady I took one look at Betsy Drake and said to myself HE married HER? UGH!! And the thing only got worse after that.Betsy Drake plays a manipulative, obsessed, single woman who looks up and notices Cary Grant and immediately starts stalking him objective matrimony. She enlists her friend, her boss (a notorious womanizer) and Eddie Albert.Drake's "acting" and I use the term loosely - is atrocious. Cary Grant is his usual suave self - until the end of this garbage. And yes, you can imagine the ending without me telling you.Friends and neighbors - don't even bother. Unless you like torture. And fingernails on blackboards.

utgard14 Romantic comedy about a young woman (Betsy Drake) determined to snag a handsome doctor (Cary Grant) as her husband. Obviously its old-fashioned ideas will not sit will well with everybody today. Personally I didn't find anything offensive about it. Yes it's dated but I don't watch a movie from 1948 expecting it to appeal to modern sensibilities. Part of the enjoyment of watching older films, at least for me, is they are a window into the past.Probably not something Cary Grant would have signed on to do were he not trying to help out Betsy Drake, who he was dating at the time. He helped her get an RKO contract and this was her first movie. The two would marry the following year. Cary seems to be on autopilot with the unchallenging material. But a Cary Grant only half-trying is better than most stars giving it their best. Drake is likable despite her character being a stalker. Franchot Tone plays another guy who gets roped into Drake's scheme. All in all, it's a light bit of pleasant but forgettable fluff.

PudgyPandaMan DISCLAIMER to modern girls - DO NOT try this at home!OK folks - this is a product of it's time. The concept now is kind of corny and definitely outdated. But viewed in light of the era, I'm sure this type of conniving to get a husband was pretty common. Today, it would qualify as "Stalking" with a capital S! I still say it is worth a watch as it is classic 40's fare. Unfortunately, Cary Grant doesn't get quite as much screen time as Betsy Drake. I did find Drake to be a little annoying but that may have been the effect they were going for. It does make it seem more unlikely that she should land the "catch" in the end, though. I didn't feel Grant and Drake had much on screen chemistry, which is odd since I think it was during or shortly after this picture that the two "hooked up" and became Mr. and Mrs. Grant - perhaps life imitating art! Maybe Miss Drake learned a thing or two for her character after all!

Pipeman_Toronto "nowlang" wins they prize for double-talk when posting in their review of this film:"I would like to explain my positive assessment of this movie and help newcomers form an opinion for themselves."One doesn't HELP someone form an opinion for themselves. By definition, it's something that must be done on ones own. This kind of movie does nothing but feed the outdated mindset that every girl has gotta get herself a MAN - by hook or by crook - or even by stalking.Thank god this kind of thinking has pretty much gone the way of the dodo.
