Must See Movie...

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

*PRBLY CONTAINS SPOILERS*I love movie's from decades past as much as I love modern movies. So whenever I recognize at least one actors' name and find the plot interesting I'll watch; that's what happened with this film. At first I had to hit the info button to see what genre this was; I was initially surprised by the comedy categorization. But after awhile I did notice a number of funny parts. Some of my favorites included: Ingrid's scream when she hears Grant's not single was so funny. Grant's giddy attitude and dancing at the ball, he looked so jovial and adorable although I did chuckle when he slips while he's jumping around. Bergman's line of "I need a man" then the help asks "Do u need someone to lift something?" had me laughing so hard that entire scene. But by far my favorite part of the movie is Carl steps out then back into the bedroom, pretending to be the other man it was such a minute moment, almost immature, but I had to rewind back like 5 times, it was SO HILARIOUS had me laughing uncontrollably.

Anna Kalman (Ingrid Bergman) comes home early from vacation. She's a single London actress who can't find love. Her sister Margaret (Phyllis Calvert) and her diplomat husband Alfred Munson (Cecil Parker) is on their way to a hard currency dinner. Philip Adams (Cary Grant) comes up before going to the dinner. Anna falls immediately for Philip and he for her. At first, he tells everyone that there is no Mrs. Adams. Later he tells her that he actually has a wife in San Francisco but just no Mrs. Adams with him. She dates him anyways. He starts working out of Paris for NATO. However he is going to New York for five months. She is beside herself. Then Alfred finds out that Philip isn't actually married. He is lying only because he never wants to marry and this is the only way to ensure that the lady starts without any hope of marriage. Then Margaret lets the cat out of the bag.It would be better if the romance is tone down at the beginning. If only Anna treats this more as a friendship. In general, she needs to show some deference to his marriage no matter what. It would help sell the comedy a lot better. Of course, that may have been too modern for the era. It's a bit early to ask whether men and women can be friends without romance. It's an odd thing to say but the chemistry doesn't work for the first half. Obviously it's not Grant or Bergman's fault. It's the story. The audience is watching a couple cheat without any resistance and little reservations. Grant is so cool in this that one can take it as being cold. It becomes a funnier joyful movie after the secret is revealed. It's like a different movie and quite a better one. Bergman finally finds her voice and the couple discovers their chemistry. Grant is also released to be the fun character that the audience expects. The first half is at most a 5 but the twist saves it a bit.

Two materialistic shallow non entities with as much charm as calculators meet. The romance is flat depressing and full of embarrassing silences such as when Grant stares at her like a moron whilst she eats her breakfast uncomfortable in his stare, it is very similar to Pretty woman as the writer thinks money is romance.If Bacall and Bogart are like introducing Nitro to Glycerin then these two is like introducing Liquid to Nitrogen.Strip away their money there would be nothing left at all."Bar deeps Giddy Grot" that's how you say "My name's Cary Grant" in his voice.

When famous West End actress Anna (Ingrid Bergman) meets married diplomat Phillip (Cary Grant), sparks fly and the two begin a torrid love affair. Much later, Anna learns something about Phillip that puts their relationship in jeopardy.Superstars Bergman and Grant are stuck with a corny script and it makes for an epically silly and boring movie; in fact, if it weren't for the gorgeous Christian Dior ball gowns, I wouldn't like anything about it. Cary seems to be doing an impersonation of himself, sleepwalking through his cliché mannerisms and speeches. He never seems sincere and keeps his costar at an emotional distance (but it is fun to see him dance a jig). Ingrid seems phony and arrogant and just off-putting. She's supposed to be ultra-glamorous but just looks tired and plain. They have no romantic chemistry at all and in keeping with the time, share only a few tepid kisses, though much more is implied. The dialogue is unbelievably stilted, so ultra-witty and sophisticated that it never sounds like a real conversation. It's based on a play and filmed in a very artificial, stagy way.I was amazed at how dull the movie was and actually dozed off in the middle. Because it's about a man who pretends to be married to avoid commitment and a woman who wants to carry on with a married man, I didn't like or admire either of them. The voluminous gowns are vintage 50s and are the best part of the movie.
