Good Movie, little bit hokey

This was a pretty good movie, and I'm sure it was excellent when it came out. However, in the 65 years since, I'd have to say it got a little bit dated. Cary Grant and James Stewart are great as always. Stewart was cast perfectly as the cantankerous reporter. Katherine Hepburn is also well-cast, but both Katherine and Audrey Hepburn are always perfect as the rich, helpless, more-trouble-than-they're-worth object of the man's affection (see: African Queen, Breakfast at Tiffany's, etc). These folks could make almost any movie worth watching. However, the story itself is pretty predictable, despite it's many twists and turns. The fact that the movie comes in at under 2 hours makes the movie well worth watching. There are also quite a few moments that I chuckled at, so apparently it still has some relevance in the 21st century. Personally, I think it just comes down to whether or not you like movies with these actors in them, because that's about what you're getting. |
