DIRECTOR: Frank Capra
STUDIO: Warner Brothers
STARRING: Cary Grant, Priscilla Lane, Raymond Massey
RATING: Not Rated
GENRE: Comedy, Crime
GRADE: A-
One of the first screwball comedies, and I loved it! The story stars Cary Grant, a man recently married, who finds out his aunts are insane, homicidal serial killers. The twist? They honestly don't see what's wrong with it! Though, the plot thickens when an unexpected visitor stops by to visit.
I have to say this movie has a crazy plot, but it still seemed to flow quite well. Some complain that Cary Grant's acting is a bit over the top, but I loved it! I felt it was the only way a comedy actor could react to make it appropriate. If it wasn't for the overacting, the film would have been completely serious.
The budget for this movie was also incredible! It was a bit less than $2 million, and create such a quality film. Of course, this isn't a perfect film. Some situations seemed a BIT too bizarre, but that did add to the quirky-ness of it. Overall a very good film. "A-"!
