Cary Grant says when the sheriff was arresting him, "The last man that said that to me was Archie Leach, just a week before he cut his throat." Archie Leach was Cary Grant's birth name.
*"There's a guy in a taxi down the street, his name is Bruce Baldwin. He looks like that fella in the movies... You know, Ralph Bellamy."*
And it's Ralph Bellamy playing Bruce Baldwin!
The actor playing 'Bruce Baldwin" is Ralph Bellamy -- which is why "Bruce" looks like Ralph Bellamy.
This is my favorite movie ever. Cheers. Love the rapidfire dialogue. "Start hollering."
One of my favorite old films. The dialog is smart and sharp. Cary Grant is such a scammer. He goes after what he wants and will find whatever he can to get it. And what he wants is his best reporter back with him. Ah-h-h-h! This was from the days when journalists were always wanting to find the facts on BOTH sides of the story and it wasn't politics pushing it.
Pandora, your reaction was perfect. How sharp is that dialogue! Cary was never as cheeky and charismatic as he is here as Walter Burns and Rosalind Russell practically steals the show, she's amazing, and they had lightening-in-a-bottle chemistry together. As for Howard Hawks, another one of his rom coms I think you'd enjoy is 'Gentleman Prefer Blondes' with Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell.
I watched this again three weeks ago but had to watch when I saw the joy on your face throughout. You need a longer outro to talk about the movie. Thumbs up but please, talk more about the movie after it's over
GREAT film! Watch for the scene where the reprieve is delivered to the political candidate.
That was when screenwriters were literate. Every line a gem.
There are plenty of great writers. Throughout all time.
@@leonh.kalayjian6556 I am referring to a specific film and a period when literate writers -- novelists and playwrights published outside film -- wrote for film.
These actors are better than the most actors we have now listen to how much dialogue they have to say within one shot no cuts. Amazing
1:12:10 "Get back in there, you Mock Turtle". A reference to Cary Grant as the Mock Turtle in the 1933 version of "Alice In Wonderland".
Although this is a year after you posted this, thank you. Hadn't seen this movie in at least 2 decades. Fast, smart, and funny. A pleasure to watch again.
Love your reaction Pandora. This is a great example of the "lost art" of wonderful dialog, a feature of movies of that era.
“Divorce… just a few words mumbled over you by a judge.” 😂😂😂
Oooh, His Girl Friday. Basically, the second filmed version of the 1928 Broadway play, The Front Page. This is probably considered by most the best of the three movie versions, the others being 1931, with Adolph Menjou and Pat O'Brien, and 1974, with Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon.
i have a lot of favorite movies and this is one of them. 20 years later rosalind russell played the horrendous but lovable stage mother in "gypsy" to natalie wood's gypsy rose lee. ms russell also starred in the wonderful 1939 classic "the women." which had an ALL FEMALE cast. not one man appeared or was heard in that film. but "men" was the central subject of the film. its a b&w film with a technicolor fashion show stuck in the middle. its an excellent film with a rather anti-climactic ending.
thanks for choosing to watch clasic older films. there's plenty more where that came from. i'd be pleased as punch to suggest other great films from the 30s to the 90s.
Spiral staircase
Don't forget Mamie
Your channel simply appeared on my tv today. So, I am a first time "sharer", and what a film to share. Great lead actors and superb delivery of wonderful dialogue. This is one top shelf film.
The "Pettibone" scene is BRILLIANT!
"That guy in the movies...Ralph Bellamy" was played by....that guy in the movies, Ralph Bellamy.
Great movie!
Great reaction! I love that you watched it all through. Only way to see it. Great job!
One thing you'll noticed in old movies is less editing, allowing longer scenes and with the camera pulled back. Alowing actors to actually use their craft. Instead of just saying one or two lines usually in a close up before cutting to closeup to another actor.
wow, you got youtube to let you stream the entire movie! (for now, i guess, or is it public domain by now?) fun easter eggs mentioned in comments below, that Grant's mention of "the last guy who said that to me was Archie Leach..." (Grant's real name) and that Bruce (actor Ralph Bellamy) "...looks like that actor Ralph Bellamy!"
Ya gotta do "Casablanca".
I just watched this on ITV player, so now I can watch reactions on it.
Ralph Bellamy is the actor playing Bruce Baldwin.
Bruce Baldwin kind of looks like the actor... Ralph Bellamy. So funny
One of the "screwball comedy" GREATS!
il migliore 👍🏼
'rubbers too I hope' I wonder if that's meant to be a double joke. 14:36
Go watch Philadelphia Story with carry grant and Katherine Hepburn, another great rom-com.
This is a "screwball comedy" -- and includes satire about the newspaper business. It is intended to be both true and funny.
And the sheriff is obviously corrupt -- as is the mayor.
How is she a fast talker hjdde
