Cary Grant and a stellar cast romp through this classic farce based on Joseph Kesserling's 1941 Broadway hit and breezily directed by Frank Capra. Frazzled drama critic Mortimer Bewster (Grant) has two aunts (Josephine Hull and Jean Adair) who ply lonely geezers with poisoned libations, one sociopathic brother (Raymong Massey) who looks like Boris Karloff, one bonkers brother (John Alexander) who thinks he's Teddy Rooselvelt, one impatient new bride (Priscilla Lane) - and only one night to make it turn out all right. In this circus' centre ring is Grant, twisting his face into a clown's gallery of flabbergasted reactions and transforming his natural athletic grace into a rubber-legged comic ballet. You'll die laughing.
