i be not the big screwball comedy fan and since most movie just do not seem to really quite get it and be more or less often too much more of the same and they get drown by the movie it clever story and low key sentiment . my favorite wife be however a screwball movie that i really enjoyed watching . it feature all of the typical screwball element and in which an odd unusual situation and how the character handle them play the central key element of the movie . thing get bad and bad when they get deep and deep into trouble when more fact slowly surface . it a well write story that offer plenty of surprise with it moment and main plot line and even though of course the movie in a sense be mostly predictable and just like any other genre movie . who know and perhaps the movie would have be even well if indeed leo mccarey end up direct it and like originally be intend . he however get involve in an automobile accident shortly before the filming of this movie and he have to pass on the direct honers to less experienced garson kanin . kanin obviously do not do a bad job with it but mccarey be of course more experienced in the genre and be definitely most at ease and in his element with direct these type of movie . he have some great classic below his belt and also prior to the release of this movie . mccarey still serve a the writer and producer of the movie though and so his touch be still notable within the movie . the more i see of cary grant a a comedy actor and the more i start to like and appreciate him a one . he be of course still best know for the role he play in alfred hitchcock movie but he successfully start off his career with movie such a this one . he be a great comedy actor who could play a regular guy and despite his always good look . while watch this movie it by the way also make me think while wow and this guy would have make a great james bond . later i find out that he be actually ask to play the james bond character in the first 1962 bond movie dr. no but he turn it down because he believe to be too old already at the time to play the character . he star in this movie with irene dunn and with who he have appear in in several movie together throughout their career and which also all happen to be the same type of movie . both be just 2 of the best and most successful genre actor at the time . one of the good movie that the 30 screwball genre have to offer . positive .
