![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The movie holds up well over 50 years later which makes one wonder why Hollywood hasn't, cringe, chosen to ape the storyline for Jim Carrey or maybe Tom Hanks, who might be looking for a comic turn these days. I bet he loved chasing after Monroe with a spray bottle. Adding to the hijinx is Charles Coburn, who always dominates the screen with his easy charm. Along with monkeyshines and child actors, you really get a lot in this film: Grant and Rogers play off each other very nicely and the driving scene with Monroe and Grant is a classic. Howard Hawks takes you back to the good old days when Hollywood demonstrated total mastery of time and space with the screwball comedy. It's 1952 but you wouldn't know it (except for Marilyn's presence). Ginger Rogers gets to dance a little without Fred Astaire plus demonstrate a wonderful comic style as she mixes it up with Marilyn Monroe. Thoroughly enjoyable comedy with Cary Grant as the absent-minded professor who's messing around looking for the fountain of youth. ![]()
