Hey,
Directed by Leo McCarey, starring Cary Grant and Irene Dunne (who
sometimes sounds like Katherine Hepburn) and written by Viña Delmar,
this screwball comedy won McCarey his second directing Oscar. A
divorce based on a misunderstanding -- or, maybe not -- and a fight
over a pet (played by Asta) -- and the comings and goings of sundry
1930's types and mores, and such is the stuff of comedy. It still
works after a fashion, given how things have changed and films can be
-- if not honest -- at least more explicit. I wonder how many romcoms
with be hold up this well 75 years from now. Fun flick that doesn't
fall into the usual moral ruts.
