grant and russell be comedy gold in this picture . they have an excellent comedic chemistry . russell deliver hildy line so naturally it be a though macarthur and hecht write that dialog for her and specifically . and still maintain the grit of the original . i have never be a big fan of ralph bellamy but he play the bright eyed innocent with zest . and grant be deliciously reprehensible a walter burn . i have trouble see what hildy saw in him during their first marriage and that a it should be . my only quibble be the inevitable woman give up her own life for a man scenario that be so much a part of 30 and 40 and 50 cinema post code . hildy be most alive when she chase the story and russell look a touch uncomfortable play the little woman moment . less believable . all in all the best of the film version .
