Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

ThiefHott Too much of everything

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

classicstormd If you love black & white movies and Cary Grant movies with either slap stick or witty dialogue then skip this movie. I was so excited to see it but that quickly fades. There are three story lines in one movie and all of them are a mess. There is no chemistry between Grant and Crain. There is no reason for their characters to even like each other much less fall in love in a couple days. The model train scene isn't funny and I think it intended to be. There is a weird surprise ending out of no where. (BTW Cary Grant isn't close to performing correct moves while conducting the orchestra) I liked a few minutes of the informal hearing near the end plus Cary Grant is wonderful to look at :) Because of this I gave it four stars. Would be unwatchable without him in it. If you are curious then watch it but don't watch it if you are looking for a great movie. (Try Grant in Philadelphia Story, Notorious, Bringing Up Baby etc)

sol- Persecuted by his colleagues for his unconventional approach to medicine, a philanthropic medical school lecturer has to balance being put on trial and keeping a pregnant unwed woman from killing herself in this lesser known Cary Grant film. If a rather obvious McCarthyiasm allegory, the film works quite well as a tale of intolerance and the ease of losing sight of the role demanded by one's job; "my business is to make sick people well" claims Grant quite pointedly early on. The film possesses a superb mystery element that constantly keeps the proceedings afloat. The sketchy details of Grant's past and the true identity of Finlay Currie as his mysterious companion make for excellent mysteries with the suggestion of something sinister in the air. The film is only part mystery-drama though. It is also a romantic comedy at least a third of the time, and the film never really clicks in romantic comedy mode. Jeanne Crain certainly gives it her best as Grant's suicidal young love interest, but the bond between them always feels more like surrogate daughter and father figure. Not only is Grant is old enough to have been her father, he looks almost as old as the actor who plays her father. The romantic sparks between them never ignite either, a single barn scene aside. The film is not very funny either despite some zesty dialogue. Much of the dialogue is, however, thoughtful and philosophical, and the film has a lot of interesting things to say, and as long as one enters the film expecting a mystery-drama and not a romantic comedy, it is hard to imagine it disappointing.

kenjha A professor falls in love with a pregnant, unwed student. Given the time of its release, the frank handling of out-of-wedlock pregnancy is surprising. The film also takes on McCarthyism, as Grant is accused of unethical medical practices. People do talk a lot here, but it's mostly interesting dialog from Mankiewicz, coming off back-to-back screen writing Oscars the previous two years. Grant and Crain are fine, although their age difference makes their romance a bit awkward. There's a good supporting cast. The soundtrack prominently and fittingly features the "Academic Festival Overture," which Brahms wrote as a potpourri of beer- drinking college songs.

gelman@attglobal.net "People Will Talk" has Cary Grant and (long pause) Jean Crain, Hume Cronyn and Walter Slezak in prototypical roles. And that may be enough for some people. But unlike a lot of other films of its vintage, "People Will Talk" has a lame premise and a script that tries but fails to be clever. As always, Cary Grant is charming, Crain is beautiful, Slezak is lovable and Cronyn is in character (this time as Cary's nemesis). But these are the kinds of performances that Grant, Crain, Slezak and even Cronyn could churn out in their sleep, and in this case they are sleep- inducing. If you want to see any one of these stars at their best, "People Will Talk" is certainly not the place to start. There is one bit of unintentional humor: Watching Cary Grant conducting a symphony orchestra is like watching your 13 year old play air guitar.
